When you turn the binding to the back lay a small thin piece of batting next to the seam and then fold over. I do this all the time because I like the effect of the binding having a little puffiness to it.

If I pull it tight to the back, the back binding will be at least 1/2 inch wider than the front binding and I'll have to mitre it on the back "corners" to get it to fit. I could fold it under on the back to get the right width but the extra bulk will make the edge "harder" and less drapy. Or I could take it off, cut 1 inch off the width and resew it. Any other ideas? What would you do?
