    The difference I see is how she started the binding and ended it. Looks nice!

    This is the way I have always bound my quilts. It is the most durable and neatest binding I have seen.

    At first I thought it was just the same way I do it but then I noticed the very last part. . . . sticking the end tail into the diagonal slit that you made before you started sewing it on. I have always made a mitered seam at the end so this part is different and sure sounds easier. I will have to try it. Thanks for sharing.

    You are so right - That last mitered seam always frustrates me, but this looks pleasantly "do-able" Thanks for sharing.!

    wendylee is right about sticking the tail in the end. i've never prepared a miter at the beginning either. i may try this as trying to match the 2 tails at the end is always annoying to me

    It is very interesting, the way the tail is tucked into the fabric for the finishing touch. I may need to try this.
