Personally I like the binding, and I prefer to catch the edges of the innards so it won't drift much. But then I'm self-taught, so perhaps another opinion or ten would be helpful, especially from a "real" quilter.[wink]

Most libraries have really good books on the subject but tend to use them for ideas rather than for "methods", so I don't remember if there is a proper way or not.

Good luck with it!
