I never miter. the times I have tried to master this have always been a desaster so I just don't do it.

I never miter either - it looks harder to do than regular borders and in reading the instructions, it does sound more troublesome. Regular borders works for me (so far).

I've mitered the borders. It depends on the fabric, how much fabric I have, and if I'm in the mood to do it. I should probably try to do it more often, because to me it looks better.

I never miter, because I never learned how to do it.

I mitre most of the time as I like the look, but again I think it's a personal choice.
