Same as Deb, usually 2 1/4", folded and hand sewn on the back.

I make my own from fabrics in the quilt, cut at 2 1/4" fold in half & sew to the quilt, then either hand stitch to the back or mostly sew to the back with sewing machine.

I make mine now, but I used to buy the packaged binding. I like that when I make my own I can make bindings from prints and make sure the colors really match, and also it's cheaper. Plus, when I used the packaged stuff, I usually had a spot or two on the back that didn't get caught by the stitches, and I'd have to go back and fix it.

I usually cut my strips 2" and fold in half. I like a very narrow binding.

I always make my own binding. I want it to be as much a part of the quilt as the rest. I could never buy binding that really matched the quilt unless it was premade from the same fabric. I can make it much cheaper than buying it.

i make my own so it matches.

Make my own for just about any thing that I need it for.

I make my own with coordinating fabrics from the quilt.

dottientx

Always make my own binding. Never have considered anything else.

I think it is easier to make my own. Just works out better in the long run.

CloverPatch

I make my own, but I used 2" strips and I iron and fold it 3 times, so it looks like the double fold bias tape you buy.
