Fused Backs?

Dear Melody,
I'm curious - - what do you do on your pieces that are entered in shows? Do they have fused backs also? I seem to remember something about a pillow case finish. What about the bindings? Judges in shows around here would be VERY unhappy that the quilting doesn't go all the way through to the back. They complain when the mitered corner of a stitched on binding isn't tacked down - I wonder how they would respond to a fused one? Cardiac arrest for sure.

Dear Curious,
The fronts or the art side of my quilts are all fused. I don't fuse the backs onto my competition quilts, just the slit where I turn them inside out is fused. See the link on the sidebar, The Escape Hatch Finish. I don't do bindings, so there is nothing available for a judge's comment. So far it has not been noted, but then, honestly, I toss out the judge's comments without reading them.
I am content just to have the ribbon and the check. If those are not included I am, how shall I say this?...Pissed!

More to the point, I am very careful about what shows I am entering and make sure that the show has a non-tradtional category. There would be no point in competing against those who are making something law-abiding quilt-wise.

On the other hand, sometimes a quilt like mine, or from other non-traditionalists needs to be seen in tradition bound venue, if only for the sake of education.
Those who have a need for something different need to know it is out there and can be done.
