Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Thanks for the "binding joining " post. I have seen this described before but not in such an easily understood format. Have downloaded it from her website and will try it soon.
Here is a great video showing the process: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3w5npghs4V8
I use double wide binding all the time, but this technique really clarifies the whole process. Thank you so very much. There are time when my brain goes totally off into space and I can't remember how to make neat mitered corners. The last few projects have been where you just sew the layers together and then turn it inside out and top stitch the edge. While this is a fast and easy way to do it I still love the neat bound edge you get with binding. Thanks again.

I use this method also, and after much practice, I now can do it quite easily.

I copied this method of ending my binding several years ago and refer to it every time I bind.....for whatever reason, I can sure twist the ends if I don't pay close attention.....Pirate has given me so many great ideas and tutorials.....she is truly helpful.....
She has a blog with recent entries:

People who start projects and never finish them are cooler
than people who never start projects at all.
