When sewing on the binding, I just put the tube on the extra spool pin on my machine and let it feed off of there. That way it doesn't get caught or drop on the floor or whatever.

I always make my own so it will match the border or one of the other fabrics in the quilt. I cut it 2 1/4" because I don't like a big wide "flap" in the back. Also, I always machine stitch it on the quilt because I think it's good and sturdy for the washer that way.
