Using 2 colors in binding
#1
Hi, I am sure someone can answer this for me.
I want to make some placemats, but use 2 different colors in the binding.... one color for each side. Can anyone tell me what size to cut the strips to sew together? Also, do you use the 1/4" seam or a little bigger? I am not looking to do a real wide binding, just enough to finish them off nicely.
Spring starts tomorrow and I have to get these done. My husband pointed at the snowmen placemats currently on our table and said "time to think spring, dear" - :)

each, sew together, press in half and sew on as normal.
