    Just watched the video and I'm trying this on my next binding. Thank you for the link.

    I love this! Does anybody know if it weakens the corner seam? Over time does the corner become frayed?

    I've been doing this cutting on the corners for a couple years now but I cut the entire corner off, not just what showed on the video. Just my take on the subject.

    I also cut my entire corner off to reduce bulk, but I will give this a try on my next quilt. I sew my binding to the back and then turn to the front and top stitch it down...wonder if this works both ways?

    Okay, I just tried this on the corners of a table runner that I'm finishing up. It was great! These are probably the nicest corners I've done. I'm definitely going to do this from now on!
