Help! Need mitered binding tutorial????
 

Does anyone have or know of a good mitered binding tutorial or tips? I have a book with instructions but they are not doing it for me. I usually sew to the end turn my quilt and keep going.... Help!

I haven't tried it yet, but it looks so nice and neat and beautiful when she does it!

Make sure the quilt is squared up, and that you stop at the corner in the correct spot. If you seam allowance is 3/8", stop 3/8 from the edge. I usually mark the corner in the quilt. You can do it--if I can, you can. Just try it.

Thanks! I did my 1st quilt show in May and one of the critiques was that my binding wasnt mitered.... So i figured for this next show(this week) I should really figure it out... Ill check out the video..... Im sure Im over thinking it as I usually do!

Thanks!

Here is mine.

Thank you, Jan. My mitered corners are fine, but I have trouble with connecting the ends with a bias seam. I printed your directions and will use them later today.

I use this same method and it comes out every time!!!! great PDF Jan in VA!!!
