Lol :lol: Get away with you Patrice. Although I must admit the the careful application of a good quality hammer to the odd stubborn lump, can have the desired effect :mrgreen:

I thought of staples but they scratched me

I like Eleanor Burns method and one other that works even better.
Sew to 1/4 inch from corner then stitch off backwards,dont cut your thread. The second way is to stop at 1/4 inch then turn quilt slightly and stitch off toward the corner point, this way your fold is more exact when you fold the binding over your stitches.
