I hope these answers help with suggestions that I need.
I would take a piece of your batting (since some are thicker than others requiring more room) and take some muslin or other scraps you have and make a sample. I would stitch on the front first and wrap to the back and hand stitch it. The seam on the front needs to be an inch to 1 1/8 " from the edge to get the 1" wide binding on the front. Of course start with a wide piece of muslin. Hope this is helpful.
