Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Most of you have probably seen this, but it was a revelation to me. I bought binding tools 'til I was blue and tried everything to get those final ends together, this changed my life and SO easy, works every time.

Watched it often. Great tute!
this is the method I've been using for years-I've never had a problem with it. I first learned about it on Heather Bailey's website. I use bias binding so I cut the overlap about 1/8 to 3/16 inch shorter to allow for the stretch.
I have used this for all of my bindings as well. I tend to cut it 1/4 inch shorter than the width ( 2-1/4 inch binding width, cut the ends at 2") because the fabric always seems to stretch just a tad.
Deb Watkins - I woke up today on the right side of dirt. It is a good day.
This is the one I use as well.
Add me to the list....this is the method I've always used.
It was new to me. Thank you for sharing.
This is great, thanks for sharing!
How to Bind a Quilt - 6 Simple Steps This demo on you tube is the easiest way I have found and the way I have done it for years, no math involved. I could never get my binding on the other ways.
There's no math involved in the method the OP posted. You just have to know the width of your binding.
