Inquiry about Submission Rule

Dear MQG & QuiltCon Admin,

 

Thank you very much for your time to consider my inquiry regarding the Quilt Submission Rules. The question I had sent is below:

 

I am contacting you regarding a rule for Quilt Submission.

In the General Rules, 2nd bullet point say the quilt must have a [finished edge]. I was wondering if the edging by heat with soldering iron (or even a fire on a lighter) could be qualified to pass this rule. I am making a quilt with a theme of "less cutting the fabric", and I talked to my Quilt Teacher in Japan for advice. She suggested this method with heat, and I wanted to ask QuiltCon if it is okay to consider as "Finished Edge". We prepare some sample photos. I am happy to share them. For that, please let me know whom I should be contacting to (email address would be great!).

 

Since I am a very beginner in Quilting, I thought I may cause a misunderstanding of me not understanding the "Binding" or "Facing" correctly with my ignorance when I submit the quilt with no explanation. I have considered both binding & facing, but if possible, I would like to try this edging with heat.

 

I appreciate your time to answer me!

 

[Note]

• The sample below has non-straight edge. The one I am working on has sort of straight edge.

• The purpose is to "finish" the edge. Adding the burn is an idea & I may not do so.
