Now, baste the stack in place.
Place one fabric strip, corner to corner, with the right side of the fabric facing up.
Place another fabric strip on top with the right side of the fabric facing down.
Pin it to secure it all together and stitch along the long edge using a quarter-inch seam allowance.
After sewing, press them open.
Press it open and continue adding strips and stitching together until you get to the edge of the fabric.
After this, trim away your scraggly strips without cutting into your backing.
Cut the backing so it measures one inch all the way around.
Use this backing to make the binding.
Fold the backing over one more time so it becomes the binding on the front and press it.
If you prefer to miter the corners, measure one inch away from each corner and mark it.
Draw a straight line to connect the marks and cut on the line.
Fold the raw edge corner over the corner of the batting and front fabric, then press it.
Fold the backing over one more time so it becomes the binding, then press it.
Do the same on the other side.
After this, top stitch around the entire hot pad near the open edge of the binding.
