Jenny Doan Pressing Tip for Binding
Decided to use a tip I saw on one of Jenny Doan's video's. (Not sure which one at this point.) She presses each individual binding strip in half BEFORE she sews them to each other. This way the pieces are shorter AND if you are using fabric that is hard to tell right from wrong the pressing lets you know! I really liked doing binding this way so I am sharing.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.

Interesting concept. I would run a Clover slim line white chalk marker across the wrong side of the fabric in 3 or 4 places before cutting the binding. Then I could always tell the right side from the wrong.

If I remember will try this out when I am getting the next binding together, that would work great on a plain fabric that is hard to know front from back and then you sew it on the wrong way, ending with taking it apart or cutting it off, I prefer the cutting off and trying again, this way you would know the right side. Thanks for sharing!
