Can I sew the binding on top of them, turn the binding to the back and sew the binding and then will the prairie points be facing out in the correct direction. I hope you can understand the question, this feels like a "math" issue to me and I'm having a hard time visualizing it! Thanks!
Really it would not be binding. A simple row of bias tape sewn on top of the points (loose edge toward the middle) and then turned toward the back is the easier way to do it. Which might be exactly what you are saying.
