Cut an end and add more binding so the two seams won't be too close together.
|
Patch in some more binding.

It only takes a minute to do it right and add in another piece. Happens to me all the time...
|
In this case, I would go back, add a piece of fabric and get it done or Tartan had a very good suggestion.

Yep, been there done that. You've got to add another piece of binding. It's really not a bad mistake to make. Easily fixable. Once you do it, you'll never do it again.

If there is no way to join them add a section but embroider your label on it and finish the binding. It will look like you purposely put your label on the binding.

I vote with MadQuilter, if you trim the blunt end back a little and put in a 3-6 inch piece with diagonal seams it will be fine.

Don't have any more fabric? Do as Tartan suggests. That might work. |
Whenever I've tried to do a quick fix, rather than take the time to just fix it the right way, I've always been sorry!
