I picked up a baby quilt from the LA and she left a self-binding edge for me to finish. While cutting the batting away from the binding I cut into the binding in two places.
Ouch!!!
Is there anyway to repair this? When I fold the binding over
you can see the cut places, each is about 1/4 inch wide, but
its very noticeable. Please help!
Thank you..

oh bummer. I would use some fusible webbing or a light weight fusible interfacing on the wrong side of the binding. Then on the right side of the fabric you might try stitching or embroidering a small something like a heart or flower, probably in the same color as the fabric so it doesn't jump out at you

I would contact your LA and see if she will give you some of the binding material so that you could splice into existing binding.
I Hate that when it Happens (I'm sure mistakes have happen to all of us). Good luck, I'm sure it will look fine. :D

Just did this on a last pierce of sashing. I fused a lightweight interfacing on the wrong side, and then I used Fray Check over the cut just for extra protection. It seems to be working just fine.
