I don't mind binding so much any more. I use to dislike it terribly. But like all things, practice, practice.. I have also (recommended by a dear friend) gotten the binding tool from Keepsake quilting (a small white plastic item with differnt markings for 1/4", 3/8" 1/2" and can't remember the other one in each corner)and it is amazing how the mitered corners come out. Love it!
