You'll get it. Just takes a little practice. Practice on small quilted squares. I learned from Nancy Zeimen, Sharon Schamber, and Missouri Quilt Co tutorials. Went over them again and again and it finally clicked! The corners get very easy as long as you remember to sew up to 1/4" from edge, do the angle, flip up, flip down. (shown in any tutorial on binding) A binding tool is very helpful to piece the ends together. With a King sized quilt, I would sew the binding to the front, fold over then hand stitch the back binding using a blind stitch.

I love those MO quilts tutes as well!

Also check out the binding instructions (if showing now) on www.quilterstv.com (on the internet) under Quilters Cafe.

I found the Missouri Star Quilt company to have the best tutorial on binding becuase it was fairly uncomplicated. You can google it and then go to tutorials.

I too used to be scared of binding ... my first quilts, I even had the quilter put the binding on.

Then I started to think there's no reason why I can't save tne $ and do it myself. Now I enjoy binding and love putting that finishing personal touch on a project as I finish it up.

Practice ... and practice some more ... and you'll soon wonder why you had the fear!

PS ... remember that FEAR is merely
False
Evidence
Appearing
Real!!!!!!!!!

You go girl. If you stayed with it long enough to hand quilt a king size quilt you've got what it takes to finish the job. Congratulations. Would love to see a picture of your quilt.
