Great question! You want to start quilting a few inches away from the actual edge of your quilt. With powerpanto - it’s an edge to edge design. After the quilting is finished, you trim your quilt to the edge of the quilt, run a stitch along the binding area to hold the quilting & secure it - so it doesn’t come out after you trim. Then bind the quilt. This edge to edge quilting looks really good once the binding is on. The binding looks like a frame around the quilt but it’s reinforced to hold all those quilting stitches that become insecure when the quilt is trimmed. Also you don’t want to randomly start quilting inside of the quilt - edge to edge means quilting off the page so to speak. Hope this makes sense!
Thanks Karen, the video is very helpful
Why do you over run the edges please
