I want to just machine bind my quilts. I really don't have a lot of interest in hand stitching the back binding down. (Call me impatient.....)
My question is this: how do I cut/measure the binding strips such that when I sew the folded piece to the front and then bring the fabric to the back, the width is about the same on both sides of the fabric? I need numbers!!!!
Does this make sense? Surely there is a way. I have a 2.5 inch strip on a quilt now, and want to sitd on the front to catch the back but cannot do it because the back is wider than the front and I would end up stitching onto the quilt front.
Sorry, hope this isn't confusing anyone. I'm still a newbie.
