I have use a contrasting bias binding and it works and looks great. If the fabric is plain, I usually try to make an appliqued figure that I place in one corner that matches the binding. I use rounded corners to make things even easier.

I use a wavy blade in my Olfa cutter. Simple, yet effective. I try to keep all that hand work to a minimum. :)

I pin two layers together,

I pin two layers together, stitch all around 4inches from the edge using a walking zig-zag stitch, then stitch second stitching about 1/2 inch from first stitching. (helps if stretches ) then cut about 3/8 to 1/2 in wide strips from edges of fleece using both layers -forms a fringe. Be sure and cut out a 4" block on corners first and save to serge into a block quilt for donation centers. So easy and no need to finish any edges as fleece does not ravel . I have made many of them using that method. Using the walking zig-zag stitch is.
so easy |
when i finish it that way, i use emb floss and do a blanket stitch.
otherwise, serger with a nice thread to pretty it up |

Wide serger edge...
Or, applied quilt binding just like a quilt would be finished. |
I have seen a crocheted edge in a complementing color, was very nice.

Where can I find a rotary cutter that punches a slot for the crochet hook? I would certainly be interested in finding one of these gems.
