It is so much easier and so much fun if you press a triangle into the beginning of the binding. Then when you get to the end, overlap the end and cut that end at the base of the triangle. It won't matter how wide your binding strip is, the base of that triangle is the correct width. Cut the end off there. Then put those two ends together like you did all the other seams in the binding. But match edges of fabric - no plus sign here. Then you sew across and you have the perfect binding join. Test it! Now you can open the seam and then trim it.
