Continue around quilt until you reach pin #3.
Back stitch and remove from machine; lay flat on table and gather scissors, marking tool, and small ruler. Lay binding smooth across quilt to meet beginning; fold binding back on itself, with fold meeting beginning; measure and mark 2 ½ inches, (this should be the same as the width you cut your binding).

Cut on the marked line, take the two ends and lay the right side face down on the left end, right sides together, insert pin diagonally through the center, open and lay out to check that it lays flat (occasionally one of the strips get twisted, you want to check now, not after it is sewn together). THIS IS THE LAST PICTURE IN THIS GROUP, SORRY went out of order. Now repin top and bottom corners leaving room to stitch through the center, and draw stitching line from corner to corner. Stitch on drawn line and trim, leaving ¼ inch seam.
