When attaching binding, you stop and back stitch 1/4" from the corner, fold the binding up and then back down and start stitching the next side-But here is my question do you start the new side at the very top or 1/4" down from the corner? I've seen it both ways.

Any help?

I start 1/4 inch from the top. It works best for me.

It shouldn't make any difference as long as you make sure the second seam is exactly 1/4 inch.

I don't think it makes a difference either but it is easier for me to start at the top!

I start 1/4" from the first side and second side.

I do this also.

Me too.

I always start at the edge, I will have to try starting a 1/4" in next time :D:D:D

On mini quilts I often start at the top. On all others I start 1/4 inch down. I learned both of those from quilt teachers and they work for me.

So I guess the consensus is that you stop 1/4" before the end of the corners, but you can start at the fold or 1/4" down from the fold. I've done both and didn't see much of a difference, but wasn't sure if one way was better for some reason I couldn't figure out

Thanks everyone
