Joining the ends of the binding is not hard if you press a triangle into the beginning of the strip. Leave a tail about 8 inches long before you start sewing. (Start near a corner, so you have only a few inches to the corner.) When you come around to the finish, take the quilt out of the machine. Lay the binding onto quilt edge and cut off the end tail at the base of the triangle. Now the binding is overlapping just as much as the binding is wide. Pick up those two ends, opened out, and sew them together on the bias, just as you sewed all the other seams in the binding strip.
