first binding

If you just can't make it work - been there :) -you can always apply binding to both sides first, and then top and bottom, enclosing the raw edges inside a fold at each corner....great if you are in a hurry.

I've been at home sick for the past 5 days....one good thing about it is that I've watched alot of youtube videos about quilting, binding, mitering...I usually never have time to watch them.
Thanks for all the links! I think my next quilt is going to be awesome because of all these tips.

Well, this is how my binding went: I thought I knew enough to just wing it so I folded my binding in half and sewed only one thickness to the rug. Then I began the sewing at a corner...ripped it out. Then began again and still sewed only one thickness of binding material. But I got it all back to the place I started and got the two attached. Now I have to "hem" the back side (turn it under and hand stitch). In the mean time...I made another...maybe tomorrow I can get pics on. It's been a fun learning experience and I will NEVER bind another mug rug! What I learned to do in the whole experience is meandering quilting on my machine!! What fun! You will see in the pics tomorrow it wasn't a perfect attempt but a fun one. And I will get better. So if I FMQ well I shouldn't need to be able to bind! (Just my thoughts on the subject!)

maybe trying a single fold binding instead of the double fold.
you could probably go narrower on the next one too.

Well, "they" say "never say never"! I have bound (binded) two more mug rugs! I did use just a single thickness and that seemed to work a bit better. I won't say I love it, but I'm doing it. The worst part is attaching the two ends together. Never get that quite tight so there is a wrinkle. My corners look okay though, so guess it's not too bad. Thank you all sooo sewww much for your help!
