Here is another one, I find it hard to determine if these are easy to understand as I have no trouble with corners. (Ending the binding is my big problem!!))

I can relate to this. Eyeballing that 1/4" doesn't seem to always work.
But since I used this little template my corners look perfect. You might
want to give it a try. Hope it works for you too.

I watched this last week- basic binding video, but goes over mitering the corners. This shows how to attach the binding etc... It seemed like a good one. Hope this helps

ok maybe it's this. You know the part where you get to the corner, stitch until you're 1/4" away (or whatever the seam allowance is ??) and then turn the binding up and then back down to make the corner? That fold in the binding-I've heard it should be flush with the edge, or just a tad below the edge. Which is your preferred method? Could that be my problem that I'm not making the fold be in the right place?

I find that I have to make sure that the edging is straight and the corners are squared before even starting my binding. The previous work helps on the final product. I use a long ruler to trim my edges and a large square to square off my corners. That's just my thought.:)

I looked into that a while back but passed because it makes such narrow bindings.

that 1/4 inch really makes a difference for me.

I'll do that the next time. Thanks, everyone, for all the videos and help.

I do just a tad below, and just a tad, you barely want to see the underneath fabric after you make the fold.

I'm thinking this is maybe not the same thing I looked into a while back. I'm going to see if I can find a video. It's been so long since I looked at it I can't remember what the other one looked like.
