Binding Not Full
I sewed my binding on the front of the quilt and pulled it to the back to stitch by hand. My binding is 2 1/4". I sewed with a 1/4" seam and my binding is not full and extends beyond the 1/4" on the back. Anyone know how to fix it? Thank you.

In order to get my 2-1/4 inch binding to be even on both sides, I use a foot that is slightly wider then my 1/4 inch foot when sewing to the quilt front. You might try moving your needle over a couple of clicks when sewing to the front to see if that helps. Finish this quilt and experiment for the next one.

I did not remember to leave the backing and batting an extra quarter inch so my seam to attach the binding is 1/4" from the edge. I am hoping to find a way to fill the binding before I sew it to the back. Next time I will sew the binding on at 1/2" so the extra fabric and batting fill the binding. Thank you.
