Tell us you secrets!!!!!!!!!
The biggest secret I have is to use the biggest square ruler you have to trim the corners of the quilt before you put the binding on. It's very difficult to make perfect binding corners if the corner of the quilt isn't square to start with.
When you fold the miter on the front make sure it's straight up and make sure the angle is in perfect alignment with the point of the corner.
