have heard of it but have never actually tried it. Let us know how it works!

Yes I do it often. I've used the top fabric folded to the back, and I've also used the backing folded to the front. Just depends on what look I want. Easier and faster than binding. BTW I make sure I have enough fabric along the edges to fold in half first then foldover to the back or front, thereby giving me a double layer of fabric on the edges. I hope that's clear.

I primarily do this.... it's just faster and easier to me. It helps tie the backing to the topping as well.. IMHO

I'm trying to learn to do "real" bindings but I pretty much stink at it. Pulling the backing forward is so much easier for me!

I have done that on a lot of my quilts. Super easy, just leave a 2-3 inch extra around the quilt and fold and turn it to the front and you have your binding!

I do it to all the quilts I make!

I've done it a few times. It's easy to do. I read posts here already that give the instructions so I won't need to repeat them. Mostly, however, I make a separate binding. ;)

I tried this on one of my quilts and I didn't like the finished product. I always make my binding seperate and sew it on, flip it over and hand sew the edge down. However, sometimes I use the same fabric as the backing depending on the pattern and color.

I do it, depending on the quilt. This one was for a DGD, and I just loved the fabric, but this is what the edge looks like when done.

I sometimes use this method for table runners or small items but don't feel it wears as well on a quilt. Many of the antique quilts you find were done this way and the binding usually has worn places because it was not doubled.
