Another stupid question from a beginner....
#1
I was just in the pictures section looking at pics...and someone has a lovely tablerunner. They mentioned that one day they would take the binding off and finish the quilting.
My stupid question of the day is.... why couldn't she finish the quilting with the binding on? Why does it have to come off?
I know after the question is answered I'll hit myself in the head and say "that was obvious"...but right now I can't think of why...

I think Megan is probably right --- she must not want to risk getting stitches on the binding.
For a project as small as a table runner, I think I would do some hand quilting on it. Sometimes it's nice to have something to work on at night while watching TV --- especially after I have been standing in front of the machine all day. Plus, I like the look of hand quilting combined with machine quilting on the same piece. Call me strange!
