Default Marti Michell 4-layer seam

Hi, everyone -

I purchased the QAYG book above, on the advice of the Board, and I'm trying my best to understand it. Let's just say it's not the fault of the author.

I am thinking of quilting the center of my next quilt, with batting and batting rolled up at the sides, and adding the borders with the 4-layer "flip and sew" method.

Where I am confused is this: she says (I think) that if even one section is quilted to the edge, the 5-layer seam is required. I was planning to quilt the center into the seam allowance, probably 2.5" apart. Would the stitch and flip still work to attach the borders?

thanks,
charlotte
