Machine binding question
I have always bound my quilts by sewing binding on the front with a quarter inch seam, turning the binding to the back, and hand stitching it down. I'm making a baby quilt and would like it to be as durable as possible, so am thinking of doing the entire job by machine. When binding is cut 2.5 inches wide, then folded in half lengthwise, then sewn to the front with a quarter inch seam and turned to the back, what's on the back is wider than what's on the front. Would you take a wider seam on the front so that the binding on the front and back would be the same width? I want the second stitching to show as little as possible on the front side. Thanks for any help.
