I ALWAYS finish my quilting before adding the binding HOWEVER....my friend cuts & sews the binding to the quilt top before ANY quilting is done..... it works.... (for her)
Just did a quick search and I see she's not the only one. IF I add (in rare cases) the binding before all quilting is done.... I will have stabilized all the blocks right out to the border.... BUT.... looks like there's alternatives to that too. So I guess it's with everything..... we need to try this & that & see what works best for us..... My best advice is.... if you want to experiment with these different techniques...take it SLOW.... |
Try it for yourself. I wait to add my binding so everything is nice and smooth. Don't need any more lumps or bumps!;)
|
my trial was an abject failure will never try that again
|
The binding is like saying "The End".
|
Don't do it!!! good rationale above!
|
Confession: When I back a quilt with minkie, it's so linty that I baste, then wrap the backing around and sew the binding down on the front immediately. Done it 3 times now and I feel a little lazy when I do it but I haven't had any puckering at all. I don't do heavy quilting though, that could be a factor...

I wouldn't for all the reasons that have been already listed.
If you need a break from FMQ then why not step away from the project for a few days? Work on another project or start planning a new one? |
