some quilters tell you to start again right on the 1/4 area where you stopped before pivoting. it's hard to do. sometimes if you mis-judge you end up with a little space that isn't sewn down when you turn the binding toward the backing.
so i started sewing while off the quilt and no problems like that since.
I agree! Never worked for me until I learned to pivot, then start right at the folded edge. In fact I've since learned to fold the binding down so just the very edge of the quilt is visible above the fold.
