I wonder if you're referring to a binding like this:

The tutorial is for a receiving blanket but would work for a quilt as well. You could Google "self-binding quilt" to get more information.

This is the one I was thinking about. I haven't tried it but it looks like it would be a neat finish. Because it is a single layer of fabric, I don't think it would wear as well as a traditional folded binding on a regular quilt but would work well where there is less stress and wear on the edges (napkins, place-mats, small wall-hangings, etc.)

I guess I'm boring, but just do the same thing everyone else does.Stitch to the back, having ironed it in half, down the middle. Sometimes I stuff the binding though. I cut some felted type stuffing 1/4" wide and place it on the inside layer. It makes a nice, flat, yet full look. They lay down anyway and look flat.

Maybe you should try the "double mitered binding" . I am using it on a king size quilt. You have to finish each corner separately but it really makes a nice mitered corner. No little humps, bumps, seams in the corner to sew, etc. The instructions were on here (the quilt board) in February, I think. search for that topic. I think you will like this way to miter.

Thanking replies in advance.
