I got great advice about the binding from oksewglad, but just one more question: how do you close the binding? You cant keep tails of 25 inches like on a big quilt?

One end I press back about 1/2 inch & tuck the other end inside (always on bottom edge).
Before sewing , I first press under the binding end that I start with at a diagonal rather than the 1/2" straight tuck as you do. Then sew the binding down starting with that triangulated end. When I come to the end I overlap to just past the triangulated end. These bindings I handstitch in place.
