Is it possible to baste, put the binding on, then machine quilt?

If you use a special foot for stitching in the ditch you will find it much easier. The foot has a piece down the middle of the foot that pushes the fabric away on one side of the seam so that your stitches stay "in the ditch."

When I do binding on a childs quilt, I machine sew the binding on, then I turn it & select a decorator stitch on my machine. When I sew with the fancy stitching, it shows on both sides & looks really great. So far, I have had good luck with this method.
