Adding bias binding to a table mat is a great way to give it a professional finish and add a pop of color. If you're not familiar with the process, don't worry! In this step-by-step guide, we'll walk you through the process of applying bias binding to your table mat. Let's get started!

What You'll Need

  • Table mat
  • Bias binding
  • Sewing machine
  • Pins
  • Scissors
  • Iron
  • Ironing board
  • Thread
  • Measuring tape or ruler

Step 1: Measure and Cut Bias Binding

To start, measure the perimeter of your table mat using a measuring tape or ruler. Add a few extra inches to this measurement to account for seams and corners. Next, cut bias binding strips to match this length. If using pre-made bias binding, ensure it is wide enough to cover the edges of your table mat.

Step 2: Prepare the Bias Binding

Take one end of the bias binding strip and fold about 1 inch of it to the wrong side. Press with an iron to create a crease. This folded end will be used later for a seamless finish.

Step 3: Pin the Bias Binding

Start pinning the bias binding along one edge of your table mat, right sides together. Make sure the raw edges align as you go. Be cautious around corners, using pins to keep the bias binding in place. Continue pinning until you have covered all sides of your table mat.

Step 4: Sew the Binding

Using a sewing machine, start sewing along the crease of the bias binding, removing pins as you go. Take your time to sew as close to the edge of the binding as possible, ensuring you catch both sides of the bias binding. Pivot at corners by slowing down, lifting the presser foot, turning the mat, and continuing to sew.

Step 5: Finishing

Once you have sewn all around the table mat, create a seamless finish by folding the beginning end towards the folded end you created in step 2. Trim off any excess binding if needed. Finally, stitch the folded end down, overlapping the stitches for a secure finish.

Step 6: Press and Enjoy

Lastly, give your table mat a final press with an iron to ensure a crisp, polished look. Lay your finished table mat on your dining table and enjoy the beautiful and functional addition to your dining decor!

With this step-by-step guide, you can easily apply bias binding to a table mat and elevate its appearance. Have fun experimenting with different colors and patterns to express your personal style. Happy sewing!
