Keep on trying - I don't remember which method finally worked for me - but if I can master it - anybody can - you can do it - just keep trying - it really is easy once you get it. I sort of made my own way of doing it and it works for me. Good luck and we are all supporting you in your efforts.

After quilting a couple hundred quilts (or more!) I've come to the conclusion that mitered corners are just not worth it UNLESS there is a design element in the fabric that requires it. I've seen mitered corners in solid fabrics and they really don't add to the quilt, even if done well. Save your energies for things that show and matter.

I did multiple mitered corners on my very first quilt. You can do it!! I suggest the Fons and Porter site, but there might be others. If you are concerned about 'wrecking' your quilt, try doing it on a placemat sized fabric.
