I have also used white satin fabric and cut the normal 2-1/2" strips for binding....it was very ravelly so I pinked the edges....and very slippery so after sewing down the first time, I used glue to hold it in place for the second stitching.....it came out very nice and my dd, who is a blanket "stroker" to this day, loves it!....she feels the silky edge while new granddaughter gets the rest of the quilt.....gotta love her, she is so much fun to take to the fabric store....she never gets away from the satins and silks....LOL
