Pieced Backings
I need to piece the backing for a recent quilt and stitch 1/2 inch seams. I will starch and press the seam after piecing.
Have you/would you top stitch down the seam line? Press the seam open or to one side? Seam line horizontal or vertical? The quilt is 50x 50 so the backing will be 60x60. I purchased 4 yards of fabric so should have plenty.
Of course, I can check with the long-armer next week. It's just been a while since I finished a quilt and forget the details of piecing the back.
Thanks for your help and/or suggestions.
