Hello you all talented quilters,
So I am thinking about using the backing fabric to do the binding on the quilt I am working on. I searched and found some tutorials and explanation but I am confused about a couple of things. First, I want to say that I do want a double-folded binding and I do want to miter the corner (or attempt to anyway :mrgreen: ). Does anyone know of good cutting measurements for this? I've only done traditional double-folded binding with strips cut to 2.5 inches and sewed with a 1/4 seam. Also, do I need to leave extra batting extending beyond the quilt top? How much?
I am trying to follow these instructions here

but not sure how much backing to leave to double fold. Can anyone help me, please?
Thanks in advance and happy and safe Fourth to all!
