I have always done machine binding where you sew it down to the back first and then fold it over to the front and sew it down. Not my favorite method and I didn't do it very often. Your method looks so much better. My favorite is still sewing the binding to the front and then hand stitching it to the back but your method will be great for a lot of projects. Thanks!<br /><br />p.s. I haad already cut my binding at 2 3/8" and it still worked great!shellysquiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09126491767987506308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805537764081475169.post-72435119638856249202012-05-11T14:51:28.387-06:002012-05-11T14:51:28.387-06:00Hi, Marianne.

You don't have to worry about missing the back binding because it is already sewn down. I use a machine blanket stitch for the front stitching, which adds a definite line to the edge of the quilt.Judy Morningstarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5805537764081475169.post-20984355029772502602012-05-11T00:00:07.489-06:002012-05-11T00:00:07.489-06:00Brilliant, I am going to be trying this on the nex...Brilliant, I am going to be trying this on the next quilt I bind which may well also be an Oakshott quilt.
