I just do a line of stitching 1/4" in from the edge of the quilt. This to ensure the seams don't separate. I agree with others...you birth a quilt to avoid binding.

Could (or would) you use polyester batting, Warm and Natural, cotton/polyester blend, etc?
And could you knot it instead of " quilting" it?......before or after applying binding?
What prompted this line of thought were several UFO's that I'd like to finish up and I hand quilt so this would be much quicker. Even though I take a lot of time and care with my piecings, I'm still, at heart,a utilitarian quilter. I like to enjoy the fruits of my labor
