I've tried it this way and it is really easy! Don't give up, we all have to pratice, no one does it perfectly the first couple of times.

Found this, hope it helps. I found it easy to follow.

They're really not difficult and make all the difference in the finished detail. Keep practicing and you'll get it.

if you do not want to bind the runner, then you can pipe it with cording. you can choose several sizes of cord. you just need a backing and pillowcase it with front that has cording sewn to edge. it is a great finish. i did this to a lap quilt i made for my mom. it is much easier and looks great!

This was a very good tutorial, very clear, have a project to try it on right now! Thank you.

It can be done, does take a little bit of extra time, and material, don't give up, because once you master the technique you will be so proud of yourself. Just mark that dot a quarter inch in on the corner, sew to it with both pieces of border fabric, not over the dot but exactly to it. then turn over and fold fabric at 45 degrees....

there is a tut on this board will look for you...very easy to follow

When I used to put both the top and the bottom of the binding on at once, my husband was the master of mitrering corners for me- I always made him fold them.

Now that I sew the back on first, when I get almost to the end, I sew a diagonal line to the corner, the break the thread, fold the binding back, and the over to the next side, and start sewing again. They always look nice when I pop them open.

On the front- it's all about pulling everything into place. I'd say on average I get 2 out of 4 corners truly mitred, and the others a bit wonky. It's a good day when I can get three of them to be truly mitred.

Look here ....most excellent
you didn't say if you were doing boarders or binding.....

Mitered corners were the first corners I was taught so I didn't realize you could do them a different way. That being said, once you do learn to do them - you will love them. Lots of good tips are coming on this thread - but I hadn't seen one that said, "If you are adding more than one border, sew them all together first - then you only have one HUGE border to miter instead of trying to match up miters each border.

I'm a newby and I agree, check out Youtube videos and keep practicing. Mitered corners really do get easier each time you do them.
