Sewmuch
I have only made small quilts however I have cut my binding to fit the quilt & have butt the bindings.
Just recently I tried another way - which was to cut across the width of the fabric from selvedge to selvedge & join all lengths & make a continious binding, mitre the corners as I go & over lap the start & finish slightly. Sew the two ends together & fit to edge of quilt. So the binding is done as one complete unit.
Hope you can understand what I mean. There is a tutorial I think it is on Quilters TV.
