I do it the Sharon Schamler does; I use 2 1/4" and cut the binding the length of your fabric, this makes for a more stable and straight binding (and border fabrics too) then I will take small drop of Elmer's School (washable) glue and iron it down doing one side at a time and stitch it down, doing this all around the quilt. You will have even binding and it will not wave or pucker on you. Yu also do not need a walking foot and I stitch it with the 1/4".
Go to you tube and check out her "Angel binding method" it makes dooing binding so much easier!
