So now I'm going to start cutting it 2 1/4" wide on future quilts.
I will have to check her method, as I always cut mine 2 inches. Judges like for the binding to be "full' (batting all the way to the edge) and the same width on the fron and back of the quilt. I alwasy have more on the back than front even cutting at 2". have been considering going to 1 7/8 and trying it. And for miniatures you need to cut it as narrow as you can work with comfortably
