I do most of my quilts that way. Most are tied but have done a couple with decorative stitches on my Viking and it worked just fine.

That is the Eleanor Burns method, I never had any luck not getting wrinkles... but I do remember

We always called "birthing a quilt" when top, batting and backing were basted together and ready to be quilted.

I have done this method , but I also put binding around it without cutting it off as I felt it gave it more
support around the edges as that is what wears out usually on a quilt first, I did tie the quilt .

I have birthed several quilts, then quilted them. They came out fine. In the 70's I saw Eleanor Burns do one and tie it and I made several like that as well, but I like them better quilted.

I've just Googled Fran Roen and there are heaps of sites to look at. Good Luck

I do this on quilts for the kids and then machine quilt them on my long arm, I like the edge as is and don't trim or bind it. Great for baby or kid quilts. Even did a scalloped edge double wedding ring. I don't baste but do pin to keep the batting from shifting to the bottom.

I do most of my baby quilts that way...and sometimes even throws...It works a bit easier for me.

I did one that way. It was a quilt top with fleece backing(no batting). I turned it right side out, tied it, sewed about 1/2 inch around the edge and it was done. It has held up well.

I complete baby quilts for my quilt guild in this manner to avoid time consuming binding. It works well and I machine quilt usually straight line or stitch in the ditch. I have also used on king or queen size without any difficulty except the wear and tear on your arms wrestling all that fabric around. Lol
