Okay everyone, not sure where I should go to post my mitered corners secrets (shared with me by my first quilt teacher Roberta, I didn't even know how to thread my machine when I took her "Red Hat applique" class). First you stop stitching 1/4 inch from the bottom of quilt, take 4 stitches back, tie off thread, cut, fold corners, begin stitching 1/4 inch from top of corner, take 4 stitches forward, back up 3 stitches, ( this secures your seam doesn't come unstitched) continue like this for remainder of binding. Makes beautiful, perfect mitered corners EVERY time :) :) :) If Candi will come down to see me, I will get her to help post a "real" tutorial, but since I can't yet post pics on my own ( I know I gotta learn) I can't get the tute on the board.
