Could I sew it on and miter the corner just like you do when sewing on binding?
I believe that to do this you sew on your folded border using an 1/8th inch seam allowance. You would sew on your side folded borders, then the top and the bottom ones. Then you place your next border on top of them sewing a normal 1/4 inch seem, pressing the borders back as though the folded one was not even there. I hope that makes sense :D
