    Quilt binding square corner?

    How do I make square corners while applying the binding.

    This is excellent! I've never had a rounded corner since doing it this way and I do not use bias strips. Go down to the 3rd lesson - "Patrick's Binding Basics"

    Never regret growing older, its a privilege denied to many.
    Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

    This looks interesting - I do my binding like that except for the trimming out the little wedge - I'm going to try that next time.
    Thanks for posting this.

    I use his method all the time and love how it works. As with any binding method you have to be sure of your needle placement at that 1/4" mark in your seam and at the corner or it will be a little off.

    Do a sample block the size of a pot holder. It is a learned thing so practice makes it work.
