Default mitering borders.

Another good Tutorial is from Missouri Star Quilt Co. They are all good. Somewhere earlier this Summer, I saw that if we start the binding on the left side, that it keeps the eye moving onto the right. We read from left to right, and any "flubs" won't be seen if we help the quilt viewer read to the right of the quilt. I just finished a binding on a wall hanging, and appreciated the hint from Heirloom Quilts Tut about having the tails of the binding tuck into a pocket instead of stitching. This prevents a bulky appearance on the binding where the 2 ends are joined. Mariah
