Omak is correct. I think I cut this 2 1/2" or 2 3/4" inches to begin with, then folded in half and pressed. Line up the raw edges of the binding with the raw edge of the quilt. Then your binding is 'double fold' and will last longer. I make double fold binding for all my quilts, even the ones I fold to the back and hand stitch. Thanks for asking. :-)
