I did my first single layer binding last week on a quickie baby quilt. I still used 2 1/2 inch jelly roll strips joined. I machine sew to back first then fold over and again machine sew to front. Single layer left plenty of fabric to turn neatly and in fact my mitered corners were even easier. I contemplate a decorative stitch finish on my nxt kiddie one . Not ironing huge long strips sure saves time. Youdo need to use a darker binding though to cover any see through. Mine were all pastels.
