Fold the binding to the back after it is stitched onto the front. Glue it down so that the edge of the fold in the binding is about 1/8 inch past the seam line used to sew it on. Iron as you go to dry and set the glue. A little more at the corners will hold the miter in place. Then SID from the front. Goes really fast.

It depends on which batting I am using. If I use 100% polyester, I use 2.5 inch, if cotton, or cotton/poly batting, I use 2 1/4" bindings.

I have been cutting 1 7/8 inch for about 4 years now and will never use anything else. I have also developed a hidden ladder stitch that completely hides the thread. Wonderful ! ! ! I sew the binding on with a scant 1/4 inch and it turns out to be 1/4 inch on the front and on the back.

I also don't like to waste fabric , I don't know what people do with all that fabric. Oh well, to each his/her own.

No rules! Whatever works for you is what you should do.

I do 2 1/2
|
I do all hand work and I prefer a small binding on my quilts. Usually cut the strips 1-1/2"
|
I use 2 1/4" wide strips
|
2 1/2 works best for me. Really depends on what I'm working on.
