looking for advice from those experienced with "birthing" a quilt
Howdy quilters.
I just finished this "Knitted Star" quilt. Originally I was going to back it with a minkee-type backing, then bind as normal, but the more I look at this quilt the more I think I want to birth it and have no binding at all.
However, I've never birthed a quilt before, so am unsure of the best way to proceed. I was planning on quilting it on my longarm. Do I load it right sides together (upside down top, batting, then right-side-up backing), quilt all 4 outside edges, take it off, trim excess batting/backing, turn right side out, then load it back up again and quilt it? How have you guys done this?
