MadQuilter, I just lay the binding down when initially sewing onto the quilt. I do not pin, nor tug the binding. I just completed my sixth binding of the week, and all 24 corners were perfect. It does take some practice to get this right, but oh, what a difference it has made in my bindings. I discovered this trick when my quilter used her long arm to attach the binding initially (we were experimenting to see if we liked it... we didn't).
