romille

So I have finished one quilt and the binding came out well. It was the sort where you just fold a 2.5" strip in half, sew on one side of quilt, then flip around the edge and finish by hand. It came out well.

Now I have a changing pad I am making based on various examples/patterns I have seen around the internet. All the tutorials call for bias tape. I am not sure about the difference.

So, could someone please give me a quick lesson? What is the difference in binding and bias? are they the same?

Why would I use single or double fold?

The changing pad has rounded corners if it makes a difference, while I did mitered corners on the quilt.

(and if you have time for a bonus lesson, any tips on going around my rounded corners with the binding? I just used a CD as a guide to cut the corner off, if that tells you what sort of curve I am working with)

Thanks!!!
