I know you have a lot of replies here and I haven't read them all. I am in the process of putting binding on my first wallhanging...3 sides done and 1 to go. I'm using a slipstitch to attach to the backing and knock on wood...it looks great. I didn't have any problems with the 3 corners either...very unusual for me. lol I didn't do the French fold...just the single fold like the previous poster.
