When you turn a corner, lift the presser foot & fold the binding so that it is exactly even with top edge & when you start stitching the next side, make sure your needle is in the same place as where you stopped on last side.

When I restat sewing I sew right from the beginging over where I stopped at the 1/4 mark. Just like making a 1/4 in. seam from begining to next 1/4 mark. Hope this helps
