If you will press the binding after you get it sewed on, you will be able to tell if you have missed an edge somewhere. It will be easy to correct if you have. Then, press the binding over the edge of your quilt. If you do this pressing, you may not have to use pins or clips while you are doing the hand work. froggyintexas
