I would also recommend machine binding the whole binding for durability versus hand stich down the binding just mho

Totally agree but an added tip, machine sew the binding. I am a Project Linus coordinator and do all of my donated quilts with machine sew bindings as they get so much heavy wear.

Thanks so much everyone...some great tips I will definately use...hadn't considered the binding issue...phew, glad it was brought to my consideration...feel like I'm in control and I'm off to buy fabric tomorrow!

I like to use a 3 ply thread. Superior Threads has this thread and I believe that Mettler also has a 3 ply. I like 50/3 thread, it seems to hold up very well. A little stronger for kids quits.
