Mug Bucket closure

Q. Hi! I bought your Mug Bucket pattern in Houston at the quilt show.  Great pattern!   However,  I can’t figure out how to get the Velcro on the Mug Bucket. Is it supposed to stick out from the sides or be flush against the wrong side?  I just couldn’t figure out  how it would go on before the binding and also stick out from the sides.  Can you help me please?  S. Mc.

A. You had it right.  It goes flush against the wrong side and then you pull the ends out from under the binding and lap (and trim if necessary) the Velcro.  Be sure to put the hook up on one side and the loop on the other.  Go to the September 27 blog for an easier way to attach the mug bucket.  http://www.bucketsgonewild.blogspot.com/2012/09/buttons-and-bows.html#links.
