Also, I do not iron the binding strips in half to make a crease. I read somewhere that when you fold the binding to the back, the batting will take up a fraction of an inch so that the fold will never be exactly in the center of the binding strip. I find that very true. Without pressing in the crease, it always comes out nice and straight and you can always press the edge to get that crease, if you want. I don't bother.
Anyway, I love doing the binding 'cause I love handwork, including hand-quilting and hand-applique, all my favorites!
