I hate binding a quilt, too. It's not that I can't do it and I do a nice job if I do it. It's that I am so sloooooooowwwww in nand sewing the binding down on the back. Don't know why it takes me at least 4-8 times longer to finish one than any of my friends (and I am not kidding). My mitered corners look great though.

There are lots of tutorials on binding on this site

Miter corners are the best and should be used. Take time to sew to 1/4 of the edge of the corner. Check out advice from "Grandma Z" on my website - These are techniques that were passed down from my Grandmother to me and they really work.

Make sure your quilt corners are square
cut binding at 2 1/2 inch use just wide enough seam so it will fold over. stop 1/4 in from the corner. Good luck Mary in TX |
