When doing mitred potholders do you need to start in the middle of a side instead of starting at the corners?

I would do it just like it was a big quilt -- start in the middle on a side... :D

Yep, you don't want to have a bulky seam in the corner on any project :D:D:D

Do you mean for binding? I don't bind them. Like coasters and bookmarks, I think potholders are too small to bind so I do them with an envelope (aka pillowcase) finish. Works for me!

Do you mean that you sew it and flip it? (or turn it outside right?)
