    I have done it folding the backing in half so the binding is double. I do it both ways, whatever I am in the mood for.

    And I was just thinking that for the heck of it, I would sew my binding first on the back, bring to the front and machine stitch. I'm going to do it, as I do not consider it tacky, terrible or unprofessional. Thank you for reminding me.

    I do it this way, because I cannot sew by hand without my hands going to sleep.

    It's not tacky. I've done it on wallhangings but don't usually do this on quilts that will have high use and washings (baby quilts, lap quilts etc). The single fold will wear out faster than a double fold.

    I've done it several times, and it didn't look tacky at all. I have one quilt that is at least 25 years old and the binding is still fine.

    It's your quilt - do it your way.

    There is no quilt police. It is your quilt do it the way you like it and I'll do it my way.
