    Red face Binding, a little different way to sew corners.

    Seen this link on another board and watched it. I do it the same almost, do not cut the little overlap of the binding as he shows in the video, am going to try this, maybe the corners will be a little less bulky and my machine will not cause me problems.

    Wouldn't work for me, I use doubled binding. I don't like the look of sewn on binding.

    I don't understand what you are saying here. I use double fold (french) binding. Machine sew it to the top of the quilt, using the 45degree sewn corner like is shown in video. Then I hand sew the binding to the back. Works for me. How do you do your binding?
    Interested!

    How does doubled binding work?

    I like his hint about cutting off that little triangle........but I did notice he does not use walking foot, or does his machine have the built in one?

    Hmm. Different indeed, plus it looks easy. I've been clipping the corners, which he definitely says not to do. Which is a holdover from all the years of clothing sewing.
