I am very new to quilting. I am assembling the quilt top. Then I will bring it to the shop to choose a backing. Do I quilt the piece before I do the binding or after?
Thanks for your help.

You quilt before you bind.

Re: When to quilt?
After you have it all quilted, you may want to measure it & trim it or square it up, before sewing your binding on. I measure sev. times before I ever cut.lol I had to learn that the hard way.
