What is your standard binding width?
 
Im curious .. to those who machine sew to front/back, pull to other side and stitch in the ditch- what size binding do you use and like... 2 1/4, 2 1/2, 2 ??

I use 2 1/2 to 3 inches. I always have binding to go over, so I like enough so I don't have to really pull.

Same here. I think it adds a finishing touch and enhances the quilt.

I mostly use 2 1/4 inch but it can depend on the batting. I always make a small sample to see what works , to leave enough but not too much when I do the stitch in the ditch.

I always use 2 1/2".

2 - 1/2 works best for me :)

I cut my binding 2.5 inches and sew it on with a 3/8ths inch seam. I always hand stitch to the back because I like the way it looks.

I always use 2 1/2" binding.
