[quote=PatriceJ]the only time i don't bring the backing fabric to the front as binding is if it wouldn't also look good as a traditional binding.
i make sure to fold it double before bringing it to the front, just as i would traditional binding.[/quote
I always do it this way, partially because it is fast and partially because I hate hand stitching!!! Whenever I enter one of my quilts to be judged, I know that they will count me down for it. But I don't care. Sometimes I use a decorative stitch & sometimes just a straight stitch. I think it looks fine.
