Cut a strip of paper, tape it into the moebius shape, and set it in front of you when you are knitting. Really helps in visualizing what you are doing.

If it is a true moebius (cast-on in the middle and knitted out to the edges in both directions at the same time (figure-8 style on a long circular needle), then the last row will provide you with live stitches for the whole continuous edge. Then, with a shorter needle, you would cast on 3 or 4 stitches with the attached yarn and knit attached I-cord all along the edge, knitting together the last I-cord stitch and the next live stitch from the long needle on each round. This makes a very neat edge.

Any edging that is knit back and forth on the short dimension can be attached in the same way - just knit together the last edging stitch with the next live stitch, and then slip the first stitch on the next row (travelling towards the outer edge).
