I do sometimes.

I've only done it with baby quilts because I make the quilt tops smaller. Otherwise, I make my own binding.

It depends on what the quilt will be used for.

I do this all the time, when hand quilting..was taught this method by my grandmother. It was the only way I saw her doing her quilts..

I have not done it this way. I do the double fold and then stitch it on by machine.

It depends on the quilt and the backing I'm using. If it is compatible, then I do it. Also, I never do it on extremely large quilts.

Have never tried it

Never, When I first started quilting many many years ago. I would birth them. But I have never brought the backing around to the front. NOW I always use a double folded binding. I like the way it looks and it does hold up much better.

There are always different ways to do everything, choose what works for you and what makes you happy.
