I use 2 1/4" to 2 1/2" , I feel comfortable with these measurements doing quilts. Gives a very nice and neat binding.

2-1/2" for me. Don't know why, it's just what I've always used.
|
I'm one of the few that uses 3". When I started quilting I did the wrap binding, then the 2 1/2" binding. I saw a trunk show by M'lis Rae (can't remember the last name) and she said she did 3" bc she wanted to be sure she got a good bite on the edge. The edge, binding of a quilt is the most handled part of a quilt. It made sense to me so do a 3" binding.

2.5 inches unless I am running short of fabric.

I use 2 1/2. But the net time I am going to sew a 3/8 seam.
