No, I have enough to wrap around to the back. I sewed the binding to the front and have wrapped it around to the back. Now I can, if I wanted to, hand stitch it down but I have no patience for that. What I attempted to do instead was to go back to the front of the quilt (after pinning the binding over to the back side) and sitd down the FRONT. Unfortunately, this leaves a rough edge on the back, unless I stitch on to the quilt top itself rather than on to the binding.
So, what if I used Fabri-Tac on the back to tuck the raw edge under and then sitd down the front? Would that hold?
Alternative: pay someone to blind stitch the back binding or start over but this time sew the binding to the back first.
