binding that has a faux flange
I saw a video that showed how to bind a quilt so that it looked like a flange was incorporated in the binding seam. I saved it but it is gone (I'm thinkin' I've been robbed). I don't even know if it originated on this site, but probably it did.
Can anyone quide me to it, please.

For a 21/2@inch binding .cut main binding 11/4inch the contrast is bigger 13/4 inch . Try a small section. I am right hat the contrast is larger. I still sew from the back in normal way. Choice is to sew on the Lange seam and match at back. Some of my friends find this difficult and use a fancy stitch.

Everyone does these in different sizes. I have one on my blog and had people say the sizes were wrong. I had made quite a few quilt bindings using that technique and it worked perfect for me, and I told them, but the argued with me, so I told them to google it and find it elsewhere. It's funny how people get something in their head and think that there is only one way of doing something.
