I agree with sewmary...do what worked the first time. I remember always doing my binding the way a lady in my group showed me and I was never really happy with it and one day someone saved me...she asked me why I did it that way? I told her that's the way so & so showed me. Well she showed me "her" way and that's how I do it to this day!! So do what works for you. There's always 20 different ways to do something in quilting!!
