How do you do it? Do you like your binding full or a little flatter?
I do mine the same way you do yours (& as I've said numerous times in my posts, hand sewing the binding is my favorite part). Well, maybe I do mine slightly different. After I machine sew the binding to the front, I fold it over to the back & baste it. Then I hand blind stitch it down.
As for fat or flat, I like mine more on the full side. I don't like "empty" binding.
