There are 2 possible types of binding - bias binding and binding tape. Bias binding is basically a piece of bias-cut fabric which is folded in on both edges, binding tape looks similar to ribbon with either a Matt or satin finish (generally the Matt tapes are made from cotton and the shiny satin tapes are man-made) and can be either straight or bias-cut.
For the purpose of a blanket I'm assuming you are using the ribbon-type shiny binding. The best way to stop the binding bunching lies in good preparation
a) make sure the blanket has been cleaned first - even if it's new get it cleaned - if it's cotton wash it. The purpose of the cleaning is to make sure that the blanket is pre-shrunk as one of the causes of puckered binding is that the blanket can shrink whereas the satin binding will not.
b) measure the side of the blanket where you are going to stitch the binding, measure out a similar length of binding plus extra for 'finishing off' at either end - this 'extra' needs to be a couple of centimetres or an inch at either end (do not cut the at this stage, just mark the amount of tape needed with chalk or whatever you have that will leave a visible mark.
c) pin the binding at either end of the blanket allowing the extra to hang over the end. Make sure the binding is lying flat against the blanket - if it isn't flat adjust until it is.
d) now tack the binding onto the blanket using a thread that is clearly visible on the tape and with stitches no longer than a quarter of an inch/half a centimetre - make sure you tack both edges of the tape like this, but sufficiently far away from the edge of the tape for a machine to stitch along the tape without going over the tacking - if you machine over the tacking stitches you'll find it very difficult to remove them and may well need other equipment like a stitch ripper and tweezers.
e) now machine along each edge of the tape at a slow to medium speed - if you sew too quickly it can cause the stitches to pull.
f) finally turn the ends of the binding in upon itself and hand stitch to the back of the blanket.
Et Voila! you have a nice, unbuckled edging on your blanket.
A word of warning - even after all this painstaking work it's still possible that a cotton blanket could shrink further if you wash in water so, if it's really important to you that it doesn't pucker, always dry clean a cotton blanket.

Satin is lower gloss than semi-gloss paint.

The higher the gloss finish the easier it is to clean, the higher its durabillity and the more it shows surface imperfections.
Can you paint without sanding satin paint over satin?
Yes but there is no guarantee that the colour on the surface will not streak or show a different colour through. Added to this is the fact in many houses in particular there are spray polishes used. These become airborne and do make their way to pained surfaces even if you don't actually polish that surface directly. Its a safer bet with same colour paint to give it a light rub with sand paper , then wipe with a clean damp cloth and then the satin coat should adhere to a much better standard
Can satin finish paint be used on top of eggshell paint?
Yes, as long as the surface is free of dirt, wax and grease, and the eggshell and satin are both the same type, ie latex or oil, then you should have no trouble at all painting a satin sheen paint over an eggshell. Also, if the base is water based and the topcoat is oil, that will work fine too.

Sew satin trim baby blanket?
To sew a satin trim baby blanket, start by cutting your main blanket fabric to the desired size and then cut the satin trim to match the blanket's edges. Pin the satin trim along the edges of the blanket, right sides together, ensuring that the satin's shiny side is facing inward. Sew the trim in place, leaving a small opening to turn the blanket right-side out, then turn it and sew the opening closed. For a finished look, you can topstitch around the edges to secure the trim and prevent it from shifting.

How to Pull Off a Satin Dress?
Satin, which used to be reserved for young children and holiday parties, is making a comeback. To pull off a satin dress, you must look for one in the right color, texture, and fit. The most flattering satin dresses are those in rich colors, like red, black, mocha, and ivory. Unless you want to look like you�re wearing a curtain, stay away from busy patterns. Also look for satin that is thin and silky to the touch. When you try the dress on, it should glide over your curves. A well fitting satin dress should cling to your figure, without stretching, or bunching, or becoming uncomfortable.
