Last August I enter some quilts at our local county fair. I
did well only getting one red with the rest blue's, but all
my quilts had this same message from this one judge:
"your binding on the corners are not sewed down on the
front side of your quilt(s)"
Now, I have never sewed the the front side of the corners
of my quilts, only the back corners/turns. I haven't even read
anywhere that one should do this and I have my share of
quilting magazines.
Do you all sew the front side of your corners?
Have I missed the boat on this one?

I usually don't do it....but I know you are supposed to according to judging
rules.

I don't do mitered corners but I have read/heard you are supposed to sneak
some kind of invisible stitching into the pleat part of the miter on both
the front and back. Congrats on your wins!

I do front and back. I didn't know you were supposed to until a
few years ago. Just curious why you would do only the back?

If I'm hand sewing the binding down, then I also sew the front and
back of the mitre crease. I sew up to the corner on the back, pass
the needle through to the front and sew down to the binding edge -
pass the needle through to the back and continue sewing down the
binding until the next corner. If I'm machine sewing the binding
down, I don't do any sewing of the mitre creases by hand. jennellh
