when i first started, a fellow guild member taught me to do this. i'm so grateful.

I also do the cut out a piece as I go method. I've tried laying out the binding, but it never seems to work.

"Long may your chimney smoke" Scottish saying celebrating Hogmany, Jan. 2 .....kind of like Star Trek's "Live long and prosper" :)

I have put binding on with the join at the corner I have not had a problem - I just keep going and it has turned out good

Yep, I forgot to lay my binding on the quilt and see if I started in a good place to keep the binding seams from falling on a quilt corner. didn't do it! but I made it all right. just barely missed the seam being on the corner, it mitered fine. But that will teach me!

I do not use the continuous binding but rather cut my binding for each side. The double-mitered method makes it much easier to control just that problem.

Just linking to the tutorial. If I make something where rounded corners won't work (which is rare-I actually love the look) I am trying this method for sure.
