I too would like to know if I should hand stitch the mitered corner or just go around the quilt. If i don't stitch the mitered corner, will it eventually work out and become a little nipple at the corner of my quilt?[/quote]
Answer- When you approach a corner, stop 1/4 inch from the corner of the quilt. With your needle down, lift the presser foot, rotate the quilt 1/4 turn, and back stitch off the quilt, fold the binding so that it makes a backwards 'L' shape, then fold the binding down the edge you want to stitch it onto next. Stop and check to be sure that it is a nice mitered corner that has formed from your folding, it will be under the piece you are about to sew. Now begin sewing down the next edge. Do this for each corner. Here is a link to show you what I am talking about.

The video is only 3 minutes but for some reason the link is a long one.
I have not made a binding with an inside corner, so I haven't worked out the mechanics of that yet. I hope this is helpful. :thumbup:
