I use Alex Anderson's method and my binding is cut at 2 1/8 inches wide. Like I saidtho, I want to try this method and see if I like it better and see if I can do it in less time and get the same result.
My experience with it is that it turned out really well on my first try--even the corners. My expectation is that with more practice, it will be perfect. I was using black thread on black fabric, and so it was very forgiving. I would recommend something like that for a first try.
