I always thought a 1/4 inch was a 1/4 inch. Didn't know there were different sizes of 1/4 inch.

me too unless I use a fluffy batting for some of the Linus quilts I do.

I moved the needle 1 position to the left - guess I should measure it for exactness when I try to explain it. I think of it as the opposite of 'scant' for which I move the needle 1 position to the right.

2.25" ~~
|
I cut it two and a half inches
|
2 1/2
|
2 1/2. because that is the size of my strip cutter for my go.
|
For my current quilt I am using 3 1/2" simply for aesthetics purposes and fold over to make it double. I usually just do 2 1/4" and sew on with 1/4" seam.

2 1/4", fold and press and make double binding.
