Hi SusieQ -

I posted this tutorial: How I machine bind but unfortunately didn't take pics when I put the front side on.

After I put the back side on, I press the binding "out" from the back side. I start sewing the front in the same place that I started the back, using a 3.0" or 3.5" stitch length. I fold over about 12" and make sure it isn't stretched or off-grain. I sew that section down, then repeat the process. When I get to the corners, I make sure the miter faces the opposite direction from the other side. That really does help. I got that tip from a Martelli Notions video on YouTube.

Good luck and I'm looking forward to seeing your finished quilt. That one is on my list.
