We had a quilting judge attend one of our Guild meetings as a speaker recently. She told us that judges check to see that the binding is filled with batting. I had always trimmed fairly close before binding prior to this, now I am going to make sure the binding feels full so to speak. Her visit was very very informative, to all of us, even our most 'seasoned' quilters.Now isn't that a nicer way of naming quilter who have quilted for years. lol Gerbie
