Do I leave an overhang of my backing for when I whip stitich it together or is there natural overhang as one goes along the process? I love viewing others finished quilts and sharing of ideas, helps and hints. I need all the help I can get.

Have a great day,

Hilda you do leave a over hang but I don't know how much to tell you. It is up to how much you want in the binding. That was what you are using it for arnt you?
