Well I still have about 170 yds. of seam binding left. I thought I would make a couple of hot pads from leftovers and put the binding around the edges, nope. After 2 hours of trying different ways to do it, I gave up and did them turned.
I tried zig zagging, got tucks, I tried straight stitching the edge, turning to the back, got a volcano shape. I will try the seam binding on a couple of straight edge placemats after Christmas and see if I have more luck.
I did finish them so not a total waste of time and fabric.
