I have my fingers crossed that my excellent long armer took that into consideration. It comes back soon. I always get so much good information here. Next time I'll be thinking about the details of making quilts borderless.
Your long armer probably runs a line of stitching around all outside edges (either first or more likely as she rolls it) just shy of 1/4"--and then makes sure that she doesn't overlap that with the design so it doesn't end up in the binding.
