Cut the 2-1/2 strip of material, fold in half.
Put on edge of your quilt top, sew it l/4", when you get to the
corner, you stop at the very edge, cut the thread, and you are
going to take the binding and fold it to the left - it will make
a little triangle shape, then fold it back down over that triangle
so now your going down the next side. You sew from the very edge l/4" and continue to sew the binding, you do this on every
corner, then you clip the corners, turn the binding to the back
side of the quilt. Pin down, just a couple inches at a time, and
do an invisible stitch. Go into the tunnel of the binding, then go
into the tunnel of the quilt(only in the middle layre), and when you do go from binding to quilt, make sure you are exactly opposite the stitch you came out of, and then you won't see the stitches. Good Luck, hope this helps.
Thanks for the info - will try on next quilt - have been practicing on the prequilted childrens panels - I am getting a little better lol How about the starting and stopping mine never looks right at the end - where do you start thanks cheryl
