Do you mean using the backing for the binding? That's my favorite way of binding. I think there was a tutorial a while back on this. This is the way I do it; I cut my fabric twice as wide as I want my binding, for example I cut mine 1" for a 1/2" binding, fold and press the backing over to meet the batting, make a miter in the corners and machine stitch that, trim the excess, turn it, then press the binding over the top, use some of the Roxannes or Elmers school glue to stick it down, and voila I am ready to stitch it down. Eazy Peazy. If you have any more questions, feel free to PM me. I am going out to "play" for a while but will be here this afternoon.
