I have a question about backing material

dealer83 · 2010-05-23T18:26:24+00:00

I'm in the process of making a 'scrappy' quilt. I have enough backingfabric to run the seam horizontally across the middle but not enoughto use it vertically with it seamed on each side. Every book I'veread says never do a horizontal seam on the back. Is this just forvisual appeal or is there another reason like shrinkage or something?If it's just for looks, I can live with a horizontal seam...if it'sfor another reason, I'll have to find a Plan B backing fabric. Thankyou, Donna
