Help on binding
I am making this as a placemat and I am not sure how to apply the binding. Do I just do a regular and try to get the corners to miter the best I can or is their a better way?
I appreciate any suggestions. This board is so helpful

It might be easier without binding. Put your batting on the bottom, next layer would be the backing - right side up, and next your top - good side down. Sew outside edges, leave an opening, and turn right side out. No binding required. Iron out, and top stitch however you wish, and then the outside edge. Just a suggestion.

Look for 'binding with a machine' and you might find helpful sites. I am in the middle of binding a set of placemats, and used the Missouri Star Quilting tutorial, and it's working great. To miter, I just fold it as I get to the corner. The sites suggest sewing it to the back first then flipping to the front to sew down, but I'm doing it the same way I do a quilt (sewing to the front first), just because I like the results better. Good luck!

Here is an awesome tute that I bookmarked not too long ago. For that "sometime in the future" that I need it. lol (Probably the one Tartan referred to above!)

I did my odd angle table runners the same way as regular angles. Stitch to 1/4 inch of end, take out of machine, fold binding up and then down even at the next edge, start stitching 1/4 inch down. I got nice mitered corners.
