Binding survival tips....Cut bias strips 2.5 inches wide, (some use 2.25), press and use spray sizing to fold in half. align the cut edge with the cut edge of the quilt top, and stitch 1/4 inch from edge. Using small binder clip, (I use 10, and move them as i stitch) roll the fold over the cut edges and blind stitch down to back. Using the bias means you don't have all the twisting as you sew it down. Easy Cheesy. I hated doing binding until I learned this method. They call it french binding. Good Luck.
