I came across this tutorial for quilt binding with a flange that is stitched on both sides and looks really nice, no handstitching your binding if you don't want to! Also it is approved for Quilts of Valor. I think it would be useful for when you know the quilt will be getting a lot of use and washing. http://www.52quilts.com/2015/02/susi...-tutorial.html

Thanks so much. I have a terrible time doing complete binding on a machine.

This is also my favorite binding method. In the tutorial on this board, she posts a narrower option which I prefer:
Flanged Binding

Really nice tutorial that is well presented. I will have to try this method on my next quilt. I do almost all of my bindings by machine and am happy with the look. But, I have done the flanges separately, which, of course, adds bulk in a narrow area. Thanks for the link.

Thanks...I saved this.

Thanks! I need to learn how to do this for charity quilts. The links are helpful since I don’t spend a lot of time searching on the internet.

I like the faux-flange method for all of my non-show quilts. It's quick, easy, and very attractive on the front. I have a couple of videos on the technique that I use. The first one is my favorite way to join the ends. The second one has a helpful way to treat the corners.

I might try that on a small project but for a large quilt it would be too much work to cut and sew two pieces of fabric to make one binding. JMHO
