Thanks so much for the information.

I don't leave any batting when I trim. Unless you are going to add a very large
binding I don't see the need.

As far as hanging on the wall, the bottom will always be a tiny bit wavy. The only solutions I've seen for that are to sew in a weighted bar or to use a narrow sleeve & bottom mount (Caryl Bryer Fallert does that with her wall quilts to keep them from "waffling"). http://www.bryerpatch.com/faq/storage.htm#bottom

I think you are talking about borders not binding
