Excellent tip and I will be trying it out today as I am sewing down a binding and have several more to do as well. Thank-you so much.

I learned this technique in one of Alex Andersen's books. It is so much easier than doing it the old way.

I always knew there had to be a way of making those mitered corners look good. I can miter, not a problem, but oh boy am I ready to try this. Now I have to hurry and finish one of my many projects. Thanks so much for finding this tut.

I've been doing it this way for several years except I've never cut off the wedge and guess I'll try it. I found a neat tool that helps me know when to stop...perfect binding miter by Glenna...( http://www.quiltsnstuff.net/ ). I've purchased mine at quilt shops but not every quilt shop carries them.

And Jingle, it works on double binding.

[QUOTE=Holice;6185414]That method has been around for years. Kaye Wood introduced it in the 1980. However she didn't clip. I watched it and noted he didn't give any guide how to make sure you sew to the exact point at the corner. If you don't sew exactly the seam allowance then the mitre doesn't turn good.[/QUO
He did say to stop the exact seam distance, so if you sewed 1/4 inch seam, then you would stop 1/4 inch from the end.
