how do you bind around 60 degree turns? I do great with the 90 degree but have just made a place mat with 60 degree corners. HELP. Trying to get binding on and it is a mess :(

Are you using bias binding or straight?

This is the question of the hour!!! A bias binding will be much easier to ease in with.
