Binding
I just finished hand quilting a quilt and am ready to bind it. I was critiqued by a county fair judge on a quilt I entered two years ago that the binding was not full enough. I have been reading that some quilter's are now cutting the binding 2 1/4" in order to not leave any space in the binding. Sounds like a good idea to me. However, I began this quilt over two years ago and at that time I cut the binding the standard 2 1/2". I don't want to cut 1/4" off. I have no more fabric in case of a slip. In order to make sure the binding fulls enough, should I sew the binding on at 3/8" rather than 1/4"? Will this be enough or is there a plan B or plan C that would work better. After all the work I have put into this quilt, I don't want to make mistakes with the binding.
