How to Seam Bind a Quilted Mug Rug

  1. Trim the excess backing fabric of your rug so that there is only 1" on all four sides.

  1. Turn each corner up at a 45-degree angle, with the fold evenly aligned with the corner of the backing. Press with the iron.

  1. Fold each side up half way so the raw edge meets the edge of the backing. Press with the iron.

  1. Fold each side up (again) so the fold aligns with the edge of the backing fabric, and the folded backing fabric covers the raw edges of the strips. Press with the iron.

  1. Check all four corners to make sure that the miter is lining up as it should be.

    If not, adjust folds and repress.

    If so, use scissors to cut a small square out of the inside corner of all four sides so that the mitered edges are flatter.

  1. Pin the binding down, making sure everything, especially the corners are lined up correctly before sewing.

    You may also use a hand sewing needle and thread or sewing machine to tack down all four mitered corners, adjusting as needed.

  1. Topstitch binding into place. You're done!
