kkey1030 Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 I never press. But then, I tend to ignore "rules" about quilting anyway. But I've never had a problem with any of my quilts as a result of not pressing the binding in half before I attached it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Baczynski Posted July 24, 2015 Report Share Posted July 24, 2015 I use 2" binding because I've found the usual 2 and half inches to be too big. I press because when I don't, the binding tends to twist. That's my fault mishandling it. More often than not, I machine stitch to the back then machine stitch the front with a straight stitch - yes even on show quilts, but they'll usually get piping or some other treatment so the top stitching is hidden. More often than not, I use straight of grain binding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
