I use a 2.5 inch cut, folded in half, sewn on the front by machine and the back by hand. I occasionally cut at 2.25 if the batting is thin, or 2.75 if I am working on flannel. give us more info or photos and I bet we can help!
I agree - lots of practice! I'm glad I saw your comment - I didn't know to allow more for flannel. I have one that I'll soon be ready to bind. I've gotten a lot better, but there still may be a quilt where I like 3 out of my 4 corners.
