Do you mean how to miter the border or your blocks? I use my degree ruler to miter the strips on my blocks. For the border, I fold the whole quilt on diagonal and extend the extra long border pieces out on a table. If I have more than 1 colour, I pin at each border intersection. I then take my degree ruler and draw the sewing line on the wrond side of the borders. I then stitch the border corner with big stitches on my machine (easy to remove). I open it up and make sure it is perfect, if it is, I restitch with regular sewing line. Then I trim the excess down to a 1/4 in. seam.

Good tutorials

IraJane

I have developed my own quick method and have taught it a few times. It has made mitering borders as easy as straight borders. I can match stripes at the corners and it works well every time. I haven't done a tutorial yet, but if interest I might take time and do that.

Check out Sharon Schambers video on You Tube on binding a quilt. I found out I can do my miters nicely using her method. I had always had trouble before.

Of course there is always interest in easy or different methods to do bindings or anything else with quilting, waiting for your tutorial IraJane!!

Mine is for mitering borders. I think I've done some pictures along the way and will look for them yet today. Right now I'm leaving for Shisphewana for the auction and of course, the fabric stores. :)
