That's what I thought. Thanks for clarifying.

here is a picture and always open up the binding after sewing and check that it fits the quilt BEFORE trimming to 1/4 inch.[ATTACH=CONFIG]570113[/ATTACH]

I passed this video along to someone making their first-ever quilt and they did it correctly the first time, also commenting that one could follow right along with Emerald.

That's a lot of work. I stick the raw end into the other end, fold over and stitch. Never got a comment about bad joins from a judge. And I have been going back to no miter corners for binding. It looks cleaner with sharp corners.

The Emerald Meadows video is my favourite. The man is an Engineer and he figured it out from an engineering standpoint for his wife to teach it in a class, so he made it really straightforward. His video was the first time the lightbulb went off for me when joining the ends.
