Does anyone know how to do binding like VB does on her placemats? She uses a separate fabric and there is a seam at the edge of placemat and then it is folded to front and stitch down by machine with mitered corners.

can you give a written description or video reference to VB's method so we might be able to answer your question

Are you referring to Vera Bradley? Did you do a search on the forum here for bindings, I think you may be able to find a tutorial that would help you out.

If I read your original correctly.....then.....a quilter named Anita Murphy wrote a book several years ago that had directions for doing the kind of binding you describe. I don't recall the name of the book and know I don't have it but do remember her.

she lives or lived in Beaumont Tx and is/was a popular teacher in that area.....Now at my age, why do/can I remember such obscure quilting info?

HELP could not find tutorial!

I seem to recall that some one - an educator perhaps - from Bernina had directions for such a binding.
You might try their site.

Is VB Vera Bradley? We are trying to answer something we are not sure of.
If it is Vera Bradley then where did you see the placements. Need some direction for searching out the actual technique you are looking for so we will know if the advice is appropriate.

Yes it is a Vera Bradley... I have her placemats and would like to know how to make that kind of border miter on the edges!
