I did that with my first quilt. I was trying to learn to sew, and reading everything I could get my hands on. I forgot to read to quilt first then bind. I reversed them. My son is the owner of the quilt and will not let me repair it - he likes the big clumps where I quilted from side to side (hand quilted - my first and only!), so when I got to the far side - I had too much quilt, I didn't know how to rectify it - so I left it, he wanted it - and loves it! I am not too proud of that quilt, but for a beginner I guess it was o.k. He says it keeps him warm and that is what quilts are for.

Well....now that I know that mistake happens, I'm sure it will end on my "to do" list!!!!

I've quilted many quilts eith the binding already on and worked just fine.

i have not done this, however, plenty of others. I hope you did not have to remove the binding. send picture or is it gone?

I haven't done that one, but have made many mistakes. Human nature.

Hate when things like that happen.

Your spray basting should hold your layers together so you can quilt after the binding is on. I like to glue baste by quilts with Elmer's school glue, ditch stitch to stabilize my quilt. I do the ditch stitching vertically and horizontally. Then, I square up my quilt and apply the binding. By so doing my binding is finished about the time the quilting is done. I quilt awhile and bind awhile-works for me. If you have stabilized with spray baste or ditch stitching you should not have movement towards the edges.

Oh boy did I , I was in a cq christmas stocking swap . I made the stockings , they looked like I was forgetting something but I couldn't see it. After I mailed them out , I got an email with a picture. I had forgotten to add the bling . Since it was to late to do it on those, I made each one another stocking with the bling. Never felt dumber than that. hehehe

Nope, haven't done that yet. Although I machine quilt, so that's not even a possibility. No one minds a late birthday gift.

I haven't made that particular mistake yet but I'm sure it's only a matter of time. If a mistake can be made, at some point I'll make it LOL. Hope you were able to get things finished without too much ripping.
