[QUOTE=Iceblossom;8138660]From reading this thread I can see where the not pressing the binding can give some good results. I guess my concern is that I would pull and warp the binding so there would be... blisters?...
As a related question, what width do you cut your bindings and when do you trim the back/batting?

Iceblossom,
No pulling when stitching binding. Lay it flat and then stitch down.
Binding is cut at 2 1/2 inches. I used to put on back first and then bring to front with a decorative. Now I stitch on front and fold to back. Then SITD and hope I catch it all.
Back and batting is trimmed and squared prior to attaching binding. I have added stay stitching first if needed in areas around the quilt top. Usually don't need it as the quilting holds it all together...hopefully.
Hope that helps!
