I don't understand how you turn the corners with that pre-folded stuff.
Welcome to the board Okie, lots of great mines out here, lots of info.

You turn corners with the pre-folded stuff exactly like you do with the bias tape that you make yourself. It is bias tape........it stretches and molds the way you want it to go.......straight or curved.

Unfold it........leave a few inches loose and lay it on the front side of your quilt and stitch along the first fold crease...........when you get to a corner.......just turn it in the direction you want it to go.....still stitching in that first fold crease. When you have gone all the way around finish it together just like you would your self-made bias tape. When that is done, refold it, turn it to the back and stitch it down.......usually with out having to use pins.

Hope that was clear.......and helpful. :D
