Need help with binding
 

How do you deal with corners? I sew my binding to the front of the quilt and then flip it over and hand sew the binding, which goes well, however when I get to the corners the back has a nice mitered corner but the fron looks lumpy! How do you all do it to get a nice smooth finish on the top??

are you stopping a 1/4" from the end before you turn the corner when machine stitching?

This was posted, some time back. EXCELLENT binding method!!!

yes I am and folding to a 45 degree angle and lining at top end and stitching down the side :(

Thanks so very much, I can see what I was doing wrong! Okay I am off to buy school glue and a tip!!

Thanks for the link, I've bookmarked it!

Could you post a picture of your binding so we could see what it looks like?

Great video. Thanks!

you just have to take your time and I find that starched bindings help a lot when it comes to getting everything to fit and lay nicely.

If you can't find a tip use an ink pen tip from an old ink pen.Works just fine . I use a toothpick to plug it
