You need to make your own binding cheaper and thicker. Sorry, just my opinions.

How do I make my own binding?

Cut strips 2 1/4", fold in half WST long-ways; press. Sew to the right side of the piece. Press the binding out; fold over and stitch to the back. I think when you make your own binding, it's better quality and you can always match the piece, rather than depending on what the store sells!

Thanks!

Thank you all so much for your feedback! It was greatly appreciated. :)

I also made a place mat tonight with the same line of fabric. I only had a little red binding left so I used it on this one.
