Do you sew the mitered corners of your binding on both sides of the quilt?

Miters
Yes sew both front and back. While it is true that you do not have to do this unless you are putting the quilt in a show, the purpose is to hold the shape of the miter and for the longevity of the quilt,

I do my bindings this way and I don't stitch the mitered corners.
I sew my binding the opposite way, sew it on from the back fold it forward and machine sew the binding in place from the front. I make mitered corners on all the corners, but have never sewn the little mitered corners before, it never occurred to that they needed to be sewn.

I sew my binding on front, then fold over to back. Then I hand stitch binding on back going back and forth through the mitered corners, so that the mitered corners are stitched down front and back. I do it in such a way it does not show. Hope this makes sense? This method was taught to me by a professional quilt judge who I hosted in my home during our guilds quilt show. I was very happy to get such a great tip.
