Need Help Piecing Back Fabric
#1
When piecing backing fabric for a quilt how big of a seam do you make? Any suggestions? 1/4 inch seems like it would pull out to easily, but then a wider one means more fabric to quilt through.

I use 1/4 in seams. I sew the 2 pieces together, with right sides together, on both sides, making a tube. then I fold one side in half and press a good seam down the middle, then cut on that line. Makes the back even on both sides.

I had the sane question when I was preparing the backing for my quilt for a show. My long arm quilter asked me to use 1/2" seam and press it open. I followed her suggestion and it worked out beautifully. I shortened the stitch also to make sure it did not pull apart.
