How terrible, tacky and unprofessional is it to pull the backing around onto the top of the quilt and machine stitch down - rather than do the traditional binding on the edges?? All opinions welcome.

not tacky at all, that's the only way my grandmother knew to do it and she turned out some beautiful quilts
|
Not tacky many have done this. I think that it depends on the type of quilt. I did this on a "Round The World" and it looks fine. BrendaK

All the quilts my GM and DM did were done this way. The down side for me is the edge wears faster.
|
Some people do that-they are your quilts! It would be a quicker method which would be fine for charity/donated quilts, especially. No quilt police to punish you here!
|
If that is how you feel don't do it! If someone else chooses to, who am I to be the one who judges it terrible, tacky or unprofessional????
|
Either way. It depends on what YOU like.
|
Not tacky at all - I do it all the time.
