Hexagon edges require specialized treatment because of all the angles.

One way to finish it is to place a border fabric under the edge and applique the turned-under hexagon edges to the border fabric. The border itself will have a straight edge, so that you can layer it and bind it as usual.

You could probably leave the paper pieces in while appliqueing to a border, whether appliqueing by hand or machine. (Remove paper before layering the sandwich.)
