Here's a link to where you find the video. Scroll down on the right and look for mitered binding.

thanks you for the link. That is exactly how I do my mitered corners. It's not he corners that challenge me. It's the fact that I sometimes end up with one side being a little longer than the other. With the 4 separate bindings I have accurately measured lengths and "make the side of the quilt fit the length of the binding." With the continuous binding, I try not to stretch, but I still end up with wavy edges or one side longer than the opposite side...maybe just a half inch or so, but not squared. I do use a walking foot.
