Well, without seeing a picture...

Was the quilt corner square before you put on the binding?

Did you stop at a point, as you approached the corner, that was the same measurement as the width of your finished binding? iow, if your binding is going to finish at 1/4", then you need to stop 1/4". If it's going to be 1/2" binding, then 1/2" before.

Is the fabric for the binding perfectly folded in half?

Again, without seeing a pic, that's all can suggest about why you've got pagoda corners.

My guess it's probably got to do with where you stopped before the corner, but I can't say for sure.
Thanks for sharing that YTube link - haven't watched all of it, but it looks like it will be a great help. Takes you to #2 & 3, as well as other tutorials of hers.

I bookmarked it in my tutorials - MY FIND OF THE DAY - thanks so much :lol: :thumbup: :lol:
