The no-bind method is commonly called "birthing" a quilt. This is a quick method used to finish smaller quilts. In this method, the quilt is "finished" before it is quilted. When layering the quilt, instead of placing the top right side up, you place the top right side down, so that it is facing the batting. You also place the backing so that it is facing the batting. You then sew 1/4" around the perimeter of the quilt, beginning at the bottom. Be sure to leave an opening large enough for your hand to fit. It is important to note that you cannot use a fusible batting for this method!
