Just start in the middle of one side and leave a long-enough tail before you start stitching.

Here is a great tut http://loftcreations.blogspot.com/20...-tutorial.html

Also, to figure out how much of a long binding strip you need, add the lengths of all four sides together plus about 10'', this way you have some wiggle room when you are joining the ends.

I hope this helps!
