and I'm at a standstill. I began at the middle, worked around each corner and am close to meeting where I started....now what??? How do I join these two ends? Someone please point me to a tutorial or talk me through this! I'm a mess trying to figure it out! I've done 10 quilts and never a binding! Now I'm ready to face the demons and it's shooting me down! I'm tired and will pick this up again tomorrow! UGH!

I just watched this one last nite....was very helpful.

I've been binding quilts for years and picked up lots of tips from Sharon.

Thanks for posting this! I've tried so many different ways but I could always see the seam. Will be trying this on my next project. :thumbup:
