Whatever method you do, I recommend basting (by machine) the first 3 or 4 inches of the binding. Remove it from your machine, fold it to the front, or back, and see how it looks. If you need to adjust the seam narrower, or wider, it's easy to remove the basting threads. Every quilt is different.....based on the fabrics and batting in it. This works for me!
Good idea.
Sometimes I find I cannot get the binding all the way around to the back...or worse, it is loose and so the binding would wear more quickly than where it is tight.
