Thanks Holice for the tips, I sure could use them. I find it very hard to keep conistant seam when sewing binding on larger quilts, I try to keep the "weight" on the table so there is no pulling/stretching, but I still have problems, lol, one day I will figure it out...I hope.

On the corners, I just snip the corners off to minimize the bulk.
To help w/ my seam allowance, I have one of those magnetic seam guides. It gives me an edge to sew up against. Definitely keeping the bulk of the quilt up on the sewing table also helps.

I found this little gadget very handy when I'm sewing binding on my quilts. Takes the guesswork out for stopping at each corner. If anyone has problems with their miters they should get one. I try to avoid a lot of gadgets but this one I like and would highly recommend. (No affiliation with the maker or anything).
