I'm a LA and i stitch all edges down as a quilt. so when i remove the quilt from the rack its ready to trim and binde.. I DONOT trim the quilt i leave that for the owner to do. I have never had any complaints.

My Longarmer trims all my quilts and attaches the binding to the front so I just have to slip stitch to the back! I supply the binding 2.5" ready presssed in half and the backing! She has done approx 23/30 quilts for me over the past 10yrs, never had a problem! She always returns all the cut off fabric/batting.

NO! I had a very bad experience with a LA trimming the six quilts I brought her and she must have had a senior moment. Backing was too short on one...like it was still stretched on the frame...then she cut and the fabric returned and was way too short. ^&**^$ me off!
now I ask them to not trim. They have no problem NOT trimming when I ask. just let them know!

When using polyester batting I like to stay stitch mine before trimming, as polyester batting sometimes (quite often) pops back after it has been cut. Then there is not enough batting to fill the binding. This does not happen when using cotton batting. Some long arm quilters automatically do it without asking......
