The best tutorial I have EVER seen is the binding in 5 easy steps tutorial on this site. I've tried Sharons and various youtube tutorials and I simply cannot get it right.

I tried this tute 5 or 6 quilts ago. I loved it so much, my binding is so precise, that I pull up the tute each and every time I'm binding something. I've used it on all sizes from lap/toddler size to queen. LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!

Practice on a few potholders. This really helped me get the process down. I'm not afraid anymore. Congratulations on tackling a king size quilt. I'm afraid to do that!!!

My suggestions are to use a walking foot to sew the binding on. I do not press the folded binding first because when I stitch it on the back the top side needs a little extra fabric than the sewn side (hope this makes sense) For the mitered corners ==sew to 1/4 inch of the end,sew backwards off the binding, then fold the binding up and then fold it back to the new side and start sewing down that side. Just a few times and you will be an expert.

I never have had to glue binding, used to not be confident just practice. Now think large quilts easier to bind than small, it really is not hard.

You can do it!! Just take your time, have someone hold part of the quilt while you sew on the binding if you need to. Sometimes those big ones can weigh alot and they can pull on your quilt while sewing. (Does that make sense?)

I can so relate, I hate binding and I always mess up.
I found a local Quilt shop and a great group of ladies who are going to help me next time.

Oh I am so sorry,......I love binding....I would do it for you if you were nearby....

I know what you mean about being scared of the binding! My quilting friends laugh at me because I say I break out in a cold sweat when I think about binding. So one of the gals in my quilting guild patiently helped me. The last thing I put binding on came out great - (Thanks, Betty for your help!) Is there someone near you that can get you started and be moral support for you? It really helps! Have courage, you really have already completed the hardest part of the quilt. You can do it!

Whenever I have linked to her video, I am unable to get any sound. Maybe someone on this board can tell me what I am/am not doing right. Thank you

I don't like to do mitered binding, so about 3 months ago I decided to do it this way. I put a glass against the edge of the quilt. Draw a line and trim off the fabric around the corner. I then put on the binding the regular way, but instead of mitered corners, I have gently curved corners. Always looks good. See picture below.
