binding size question
When you speak of a 2-1/2" binding.....are you folding it in halft (making it 1-1/4") and then attaching it, which means you will once again be dividing it in half again....which means it will be about .62" each side front and back or are you just applying it without the initial folding in half and applying it with 1/4" seams both sides, ending up with about 1" front and 1" back. I was taught the first (folding it in half first) and maybe that is why I hate doing bindingings because it is hard to work with. Hoping someone will solve my dilemna since I have a quilt ready for binding almost and I dread doing that.
