You'll get it. Just takes a little practice. Practice on small quilted squares. I learned from Nancy Zeimen, Sharon Schamber, and Missouri Quilt Co tutorials. Went over them again and again and it finally clicked! The corners get very easy as long as you remember to sew up to 1/4" from edge, do the angle, flip up, flip down. (shown in any tutorial on binding) A binding tool is very helpful to piece the ends together. With a King sized quilt, I would sew the binding to the front, fold over then hand stitch the back binding using a blind stitch.
