I trim and square up the corners and than after I quilt, than I baste close to the edge before putting on the binding.

Yes, I stitch around it all at about 1/8", I lengthen the stitch to more of a basting stitch. This keeps me from getting pleats in the backing. Binding covers this line of stitching.

sometimes, yes
and sometimes, no........ with me, depends on the quilt's fabric. |
I use my serger on all of my quilts to hold all the edges together. It makes them flat so binding is easier.

Not always.
|
I do, with a serpentine stitch. I like the way it handles better when I'm binding it.
|
I serge then bind.

I think I might try this!
