I missed something along the way. What is the measurement (at the end) from the fold to the cut line where you said marking cut from fold line. Thanks for the great tute with pictures, the end part is where I always run into problems.

I learned a few months ago the technique of using the width of the binding to "close off" at the end. I can't tell you how much easier this is than any other technique I have tried in the past.
Your explaining the ends "right over left" will help me out a lot as I always get confused as to how to put them together.
Thanks a lot. Great tut.

Does binding have to be on the bias or can it be a straight cut? I have a top I am making and am thinking I will not have enough for the binding on the bias. What can I do?

If you are short one fabric for binding, add a second fabric, alternate it with your orginal fabric, this can give a sutle change if your fabrics are close to each other.
