I am plagued with what I believe to be permanent "binding blockage". I'm never able to get it attached together at the ends even with tutorials. I keep trying anyway! Question: What size do you cut binding for these mug rugs (or any small projects)? Is it usually a shorter width or folded differently than the 2 1/2 inches and then folded in half that is used for quilts? Is there a general rule on what size and type of binding to use on different projects? Thanks, in advance, to anyone who has a few minutes to educate me!

The folded corners don't always come out to my expectations. Hope that helps.
