I think the purpose of the double fold for binding is to make it wear well. If you have any old quilts, you will notice that the binding is the first thing to show wear. I would imagine a double fold done this way would have bulk in the corners but for wall hangings or things that didn't take lots of wea,r it sure would be simple to do and very easy to get the square corners. I have a Christmas project I think I'll try it on.

Thanks so much, I really dread binding.

I'm working on my first quilt top and when I get to the binding part, would this work if I want a double layer of fabric for my binding? Thanks!

I like a double fold binding and mitered corners. I think they look much more professional. I also like a finished binding on the front 1/4 inch and 1/4 on the back.

I like it except I would fold so I still had mitered corners

This is great, thanks.

I like to sew binding on with machine, so I guess this wouldn't work for that?

I agree. If it is a quilt that is to be use, loved, and to last the long haul you need a double layered binding.
