I love binding mine this way. I leave about 2 inches, fold 1 over, then the 2nd one on top of the quilt. I also leave a little edge (about 1/4") of batting and it makes the binding a little puffy. Fold over, touch with Elmer's glue and a hot iron, use wonder clips, and let sit for a while, doesn't have to be too long. Then stitch from the top with a reverse blanket sewing machine stitch on my Babylock. I really like this finish. Don't know about how long they last as I've only been making them about 10 years. Have given most of them away!
