Interesting. I have a hot pad to bind. I may just try doing it her way. If it doesn't work for me, at least I haven't wasted a lot of fabric or time. Thanks for the link.

I just printed that out. Thanks for sharing. I have a candle mat to try it on. Looks promising!!

would you post a pic? thanks

thanks for sharing. interesting. solves the issue of sewing down the mitered corners that judges like to take points off for

Great idea

Very interesting. Might have to try it on a scrap to check it out as I have nothing small in the works.

That is interesting. I don't understand why the excess backing a batting was left on. It seems to me to be an excellent opportunity to cut something you don't want to leading to a horribly tragic day and a reason to drink.

interesting-may give it a try next quilt I do. Logically makes total sense and would easier to avoid ending up with a seam in the corner (argh!)

Is it just me, or does this method actually seem more complicated than other ones? And I'm kind of thinking like Kassaundra.

My thoughts also.

I have to agree with you but then I have never had a problem with binding the usual way, I don't mind mitered corners nor do I mind sewing the tails together. Guess I am used to that way and it is hard to teach an old dog new tricks. Thank you for posting a different method.

I've bookmarked it for future reference. Thank you.

Honestly, lol, It just looks like too much work . I wasn't half way thru reading and trying to understand the instructions (even with the pics) and my eye was starting to twitch. I love!! new, easy and maybe better ideas, But that just does not seem something for me. Good luck to those who try it!

I've done my binding this way for years. I like it better than folding the corners for 2 reasons. First my corners turn out more square and not so rounded and second I don't have to go back and sew the edges when I'm sewing the binding.

I agree. I've looked at it twice on two separate days to make sure I wasn't missing something! Looks horribly complicated, but I guess I've been lucky, my corners come out well and I lay out my binding before sewing so I don't wind up with a seam on the corner.
