    did you cut your binding on the bias? that will make it lay so much better.

    You can also use elmers glue (or Alene's glue) to hold it in place before you stitch it. Just apply a small amt of glue, and position, then iron it down. It will wash out, but elmers will make it a little stiff until you wash it.

    it would be helpful to know the shape and what kind of binding you used - prepared or cut your own and the width you cut.
