Basting edges before binding?
#36
I'm surprised at how many people baste, surge, zig zag, etc. I never have. Never even heard of it til now. Since I've never done it this way I don't think I'm going to start now. I like the way I do it. It works for me and I"m happy with it. I quilt to about 1/4 inch from edge, then add binding to the top, trim excess away, fold to back and machine sew binding down from the front SITD method. I use a ton of pins and I like the way I do it.

Now I never sew a binding without basting. Even quilts I have sent out to the longarm , I ask them to baste the edge . ( not all do it without asking) .
