The rule is you stop whatever distance your seam allowance is. I make my bindings 2 1/4" wide, fold them and then use a 3/8" seam allowance which fills up the binding, makes the binding a little wider on the back but not much. You want the binding wide enough in the back to cover your stitching from sewing it on the front. Mine does just that. I don't press my binding before I put it on. I find that it rolls to the back easier and more neatly this way and it is easier to hide my hand stitching in the fold. I also stitch around the edge of my quilt close to the edge to hold the layers together before I attach my binding. I actually stitch around the edge of my quilt before I trim away the excess batting and back but after the quilt is quilted.
