Default To use binding or not to use binding

OH, and a tip: when you are going to leave an opening to turn
something. If you do a basting type stitch, by machine, on the
seamline of the area to be left open first. That is stitch through
single layers (or one layer and batting) . It really helps a lot. The
stitching helps keep the opening from stretching, and it gives you a
line to turn on. If you need to you can remove the basting, but often
it just disappears into the seam.

I always do this on quillows. It really does help to make a neater closure.
