I make my own. I like for the binding to compliment the quilt.

Yup, I make my own...cutting 2 1/4" wide, folding in half and ironing.

I make my own also, whenever I would shop for binding, I could never find anything that suited my fancy! It so easy to make!

Make my own to match the quilt.

I have used 4" wide silk ribbon to trim baby quilts.

I cut mine at 2 1/4, iron it in half, join mine at an angle and starch mine heavily. I don't buy pre-packaged binding it is a poor quality fabric. I took a beyond basic binding class and learned how to add piping, flanges, rickrack or other trim, do a facing finish, I will be thinking about alternate finishes now.

I make my own. that way I can have just what I want. The pre packaged stuff at Walmart isnt always the best quality. and the binding gets the most ware, so double it, fold it over.
