Your question is not stupid and it is a very valid question since you have not taken a class. The fun comes in because there are different ways to bind a quilt, smile. This thread has a lot of great information. If you can, take a basic class for beginners. It will usually be once a week for a few weeks. All the steps (including the binding) in making a quilt are taught, and I bet the teacher will also pass on all kinds of tips, too.
