I am going to machine finish- it's a Christmas gift and I am quickly running out of time. I guess I am used to the larger binding look from my kids easy fleece blankets. This quilting world is still new to me and I guess I haven't paid to much attention to what binding sizes look like on the quilt.
The quilt is a lap size if that is any help as well.
Oh and do the seams for the binding, when folded over and sewing down, line up generally?
