When you come to the end, fold the end piece onto your quilt at a 45 degree angle and press.
Put a small line of glue along the fold at the 45 degree edge.
Now lay your beginning piece of binding on top of the glue and press with an iron. This will make it stick.
Carefully, holding the glued part, unfold the rest of the binding tails.
The fold line will be visible as to where to sew, and the ends will be held together with the glue.
It always works.

I found as I age I occassionally I have brain freezes. Since we have no police of any kind here I feel safe admitting this to you. I feel so silly went all of a sudden the correct way to do or spell something pops into my head. I actually think It's a good think my adult children don't see this or they'd start looking for home for me...LOL
Mums the word to me, I'll never tell a sole about your little problem. The suggested tutorials will do the trick and you'll be back in business in no time!

This is my favorite way to bind a quilt, you always get perfect mitered corners and she shows how to make the final seam in your binding. Watch this tutorial all the way to the end. This is how Kaye Wood does it.

I know exactly what you mean!
Just this week I made the mistake of sewing the ends together and cutting, snapping, and oops, the raw edges were on the outside!
