[QUOTE=Onebyone;8720753 I am experimenting with lining the binding strip with very thin batting. I don't want puffy but completely filled.[/QUOTE]

Hmm, I know the look/feel you are trying for and am desperately curious if you figure out a method.

I have an unconventional way of getting a full binding that was taught to me by an experienced quilter. When I make the quilt sandwich the backing is the biggest, then the batting is the next biggest. The quilt top is smaller than the other two. After I have finished quilting, I square up the quilt by marking it with a pen. When I sew the binding on I use the pen marks for the edge where I line up the raw edge of the binding.

When I trim the quilt I place the half inch mark of the ruler on the seam line so that there will be approximately a quarter inch of batting to fill the binding when I turn the binding over to the back to stitch.

I found very thin 2 1/2" batting strips on Amazon.
