Do you make your own binding?
#81
I make my own using 2 1/2" strips, folding it in half and pressing. I used to add the top piece to the quilt top by machine and sew the back side on by hand. But... I just bought a new foot that is supposed to attach both sides at the same time but I haven't tried it out yet. Should be able to as my latest quilt is almost at that stage.

I make my own cut 2.5" strips and miter them together. Measure both ways on quilt then get my total I need and make sure I have enough made. I then press in half and I have a plastic bag attached to my ironing pad next to machine and I put it in it as I press in half. Then sewing on quilt it comes out easy and don't have to roll it. If I make it and not yet ready to bind I will roll and pin the end and lay with quilt top until ready to bind.
