Hi I just finished a lap robe and I don't like a wide binding so I cut strips of 3 inches and sew them together to be one long strip. then I fold in half (can press if needed) I sew on right side of quilt with the batting and backing already tied on. About 1/4 inch. After I get that done I turn it over and fold under 1/4 th inch and sew by hand onto the back side.At the corners I make mitered corners. After you do a few they become very easy. quilt for fun Grandma G
