To quilt to the edge...or not.
#1
When I quilt on my mid-arm machine, I try not to quilt to the edge where the binding will cover it. It seems odd to cover the quilting, takes away from the quilting design. My LA quilter quilts to the edge.
Which way do you prefer?

to the edge- to me it looks (strange) when the quilting stops somewhere before the edge. just seems natural for the quilting to go to the edges and the binding is another seam that locks/holds the quilting lines ... just what i was taught- to always go all the way to the edges
