I don't do it the way everyone else does. I'm sure the quilt police would tar and feather me.

I don't stitch from the back side. When I flip the material over, I pin and stitch in the ditch at the edge of the binding. I then (still on the front side, use that last line as a guide and put in another 1/4" line just below the last one. If measured and pinned properly, you'll barely have excess on the back side where you were near the edge.

I'm not sure if that makes sense. Batteries in the camera are dead, so I can't take pics.

Basically, you end up with two lines============ instead of 1 ---------- on the binding.
