OK, dumb question:
I purchased Wright's satin blanket binding for a baby quilt - have never used one before. It is folded, 2" wide, with a finished edge. When sewing it onto the quilt, how much of the quilt edge 'fits' into the binding? 1/4"? 1/2"? Instructions say just to sew to the edge of the blanket. I am concerned about the edge on the back not being stitched if I don't have it perfectly straight. I really don't want to put the binding totally over the edge of the quilt, as 2" would cut off a lot of my quilt design. Also, do you miter the corners just like on a regular quilt binding?

It's hard for old dogs to learn new tricks sometimes :lol:
