What is the cut width of your binding strips?

Do you use double or single fold? It makes a difference...

I am trying different batting out and with the different batting I have found I need different sizes to accommodate the batting differences. That being said I actually like thicker binding so usually use a 3/8" - 1/4" seam for my binding...

I haven't bound a quilt in a while but when I do, I go to my Fons and Porter book and follow those instructions. Love their instructions for the joining but it is tricky so I look it up every time.

I used to cut mine at 2.5" but everytime I would have a few missed spots on the back.
I sew to the front turn and SID on front. T4 for my last quilt I cut the binding at 2 5/8" and
I'm pleased to say that I didn't miss any at the back. I can also say I made a perfect
(to me) binding with perfect miters.
