Lol, I just make way to much & re-seam (is that a word) as I go.

I try to pin the binding to the whole quilt before I start attaching it. If however, it looks like I'm still going to put the seam in a corner, I've been known to make a new seam a few inches before the offending seam. (Note, make sure you've got plenty of extra binding if doing this).

I do something similar - but I don't pin "well" - just enough to get an idea of how it's going to fit -

I've found it's good to have some "extra" binding - just in case.

I always run (hand test) the binding around the entire quilt first before basting to see where the seams will end up. When I create the binding, I try to add an extra 2 ft longer than I need. That way, after checking where the seams will fall on the quilt edge, if the seam ends on the corner I have plenty of binding to back it up about 6" and readjust the beginning point of the binding.

I just put a pin in one spot and quickly run the rest along the edge without pins. Doesn't take long to see a problem, and then I just move the starting spot.

and if you find that after doing all this a seam still ends up unexpectedly at the corner.....stop and move the seam up

I do a "test run". I pin the binding on to see where the intersections will be and then a adjust it accordingly.

I think this is what you need a fairy godmother for. It happens to me all the time, even if I pre-measure.

All the above suggestions are really good. I had to do a single fold bias binding on a scalloped border and I was really concerned about the seams ending up in the valley of the scallops and therefore put it off for a couple of years avoiding the probable problem. I received the direction to not conect the strips prior to sewing, but rather to attach them to each other as I go. That way I could control where the seams landed. Worked great and perfection was achieved!

Of course! Why didn't I think of that? Thanks, Holice!
