How do you assure sewing to the 1/4 inch point at the corner. Does anyone stop before getting to the 1/4 point.
Do you trim any of the point.
I like a little wider binding so cut mine at 2-3/4 and use a 3/8 inch seam. This works for me since I finish by machine rather than hand sewing. I used to trim the point but recently saw a video that suggested not trimming since this is what makes the square to fill the binding.
