Agree with this, I have threatened to myself will try 2 inch binding, I did last night on a coaster, I do think if I was hand sewing in the final attaching it would not have been the problem it was, even with pressing, it was a job pulling the binding over to hide the first stitching of applying the binding. So now I will stick with my 2 1/2 inch on quilts, the smallest I would go is 2 1/4. As I said the hand sewing might make a difference instead of machine sewing. I agree with the scant 1/4 inch to attach. It will be nice when done though.
