when i have used this method i trim the backing to be 1" wider than the quilted quilt. then at the ironing board i carefully bring a side forward, fold the raw edge in half (wrong side together) so the raw edge is even with the edge of the quilt top.then fold again over the top and pin. i sew one side at a time with a blind hem stitch. i stop a couple inches from the corners and fold my miter carefully then continue along the next side. i really do not much care for the look of doing the binding that way but it is faster and works ok for the kids quilts i make. :thumbup:
