I do think cutting the strips 2" wide is a little on the narrow side. I prefer 2-1/4".

Was at a presentation by Judy Martin last Friday & she said she cuts her binding 2" and wraps it very tightly around the edge of the quilt. I think serging the edge would make this work really well. Got this idea from another thread this evening.

I have been using Sharon Schamber's binding method with Elmer's glue. I got the link from a topic here on the board. I have never had a binding come out so perfectly before! You can find video tutorials on the internet by searching "Sharon Schamber binding".

My method: 2 & 1/4 inches wide BIAS material; double folded; attached with 1/4 inch machine stitching (raw edges to raw edge) on front; rolled over and hand sewn to the back. I use those snap barrettes to hold the binding in place as I work along the side. NO straight pins = no pricks! I buy them at K-Mart or a discount drug store; the quilt store ones are toooooooo expen$ive. Good luck!
