when I use this satin binding, I allow extra fabric around the edge of my quilt to accomodate the entire binding to go over the quilt. Then I zig zag it on. That way you have it on solidly and not lose the pattern of the quilt. Can you add an extra border to do this? Since it will be under the binding, it can just be a neutral color the same color as the binding (of course, you want it to match the quilt). Hope that makes sense... :)
