It is a good way to do it. Quilts for Kids recommends it for their quilts.

I have never done it that way, but I don't think it is tacky at all. I have see it done many times.

It isn't tacky at all! It's just another way to do binding. My grandmother used that method for her quilts and it looks great. Quilting is a very personal thing - you do what looks good and works for you. There are no rules in quilting! :thumbup: :lol: :thumbup:

I have done this and it sure doesn't look tacky to me.

It's not tacky. My girlfriend prefers that method. Quilting is all about doing what feels good to you. Remember, a dumb question is one that is never asked. I heard that decades ago and have found that it's true.

I just did a binding this way. It sure was faster than the hand stitched way I was taught. It is your quilt....you do it your way! We all do little things the "quilt police" do not approve of.

Do what you like when you are doing it- J
|
as long as you are not entering it into a Judged show it will be fine...just remember though, that if you give it to a child and the edges get rough, it could cause the backing to tear...I use this method on most table runners, and wall hangings!

I prefer to do it like that!
