Binding -- How can I keep the binding seams from ending up at a corner?
#1
I usually use diagonal seams and piece the binding somewhat longer than needed. Then, I just begin putting it on the front, creating mitered corners as I go. If I get to a corner and have a binding seam, there's really nothing to do, is there?
What could I do differently?
Thanks!

Lay the quilt out and lay the binding along the edges. If a seam is close to a corner move it one way or the other until there aren't any seams on any corner. Then put a big straight pin in the spot where you want to start.

simply measure your intersections on the binding then measure your quit and try to start within that paremeter!
