I wrap the binding as I'm pressing it around the cardboard from a fat quarter. I just lay it on the quilt and unfold as needed. When I'm done whatever is left on the cardboard gets left there for another quilt. I never use the leftovers but I'm thinking one day I'm going to do a patchwork binding and use some of them.
michelleoc Stop 1/4 in from the edge, remove from machine, fold back on itself toward the top, bring back so folded edges are even at the top, start sewing again 1/4 in and go to next corner. This was in an article I read about binding years ago and it works every time. I'm not good at explaining but if you can find it online I'm sure you'll be consistent in no time.
