I start with the same 2-1/2" strip but fold it in half lengthwise and press. The raw edges of the binding strip go along the raw edge of the quilt. I tend to stitch 3/8" instead of 1/4" because when I fold the strip to the back for hand stitching along the folded edge I want to just cover the seam line which will insure that my binding is full and doesn't have any flat places in it. That's a big plus for those who wish to enter quilts into any sort of competition. I've heard judges will ding you when they find gaps along the edge of the binding. This method also gives you two layers of fabric on the quilt edge which is a good thing for a quilt that gets a lot of use. It keeps the binding from wearing out as quickly as a binding with only one layer on the edge would do.
