What size of strip do you use when making binding? What allowance do you use when machine sewing? GAHHHHHHH!!!! I feel like Charlie Brown when he lands on his back from missing the football kick! :-/
I do not mind doing the binding at all. To me it is a sign - ahh almost finished. I cut my strips 2 1/2" or sometimes 3" wide. Sew all my strips together - iron seams open and fold edges-wrong sides together and iron. I then roll it up and it is ready to sew onto quilt.
