good point about the binding. I figured on a minimum of 92" x2 = 184" divide by 36" = 5.11 yards.
I recently learned (probably here) that you sew the two length together in a tube (both sides, fabric-sides-together). Then you cut the tube open down one center. This will split the backing and you will have a nice even amount on the side of the center piece.
Trying to figure out how to make the tube, do you sew the cut ends together or the selvage ends, then how do you cut the tube? I'm tryint to figure it out but if I sew the ends together then cut it aren't I just doubling the width? I guess I need to see it done cause I just ain't getting it
