Take out the stitching so you can fill in with another piece of binding. Try to make the joins so they are spaced out on the edge you are working on. Generally, a join is better in the bottom 1/3 edge and not on the exact center of the edge.

I work the final join of the binding into the lower left 1/3 of quilt edge as the eye typically travels left to right.

Here is the join method I use for binding. Good luck!

Rhonda K for posting this link. I just finished making 7 place mats with ugly joins and with a perfect miter. Now I have only 12 more to go. I'll never make ugly joins again.
