Way back in the 90s when I lived in Austin and was a member of the Austin Area Quilt Guild , I was taught that method by my teacher , who at the time was Mary Beard . I see most Texas quilters using the same 90s tricks which I will always remember and be grateful for so much help I was given.. These women from the guild always gave above and beyond what was asked ..Thank you.

The issue is that it just doesn't look as good because it isn't as flat and crisp. Even ironing doesn't help - we've tried that! :)<br /><br />It's also a case of it lays a bit flatter. But it also wears better. With the single layer of fabric, it will be less rounded on the edge, a harder fold. Hope this helps!

A plain binding has just a few threads of the fabric sitting on the quilt edge so the binding would show more wear as the wear would be concentrated on those few edge threads running along the edge and would tend to spread damage wider than on the bias where the fabric might have thousands of threads rolling over the edge of the quilt in its bias binding. This would tend to keep damage in a much smaller area. Gads, I hope that makes some kind of sense.

My question--I've always read that double fold binding is better/stronger for larger quilts that will be washed and used. Will this hold up on larger, well used quilts? Or do you recommend it for smaller ones?
