I do mitres, but I think you do what suits you, if mitres not your thing,don’t do them, your quilt your rules x

I don't like them either and do square ones. I think many if not most in my area do square ones. The ones in my sewing bee at my house do. I know because I taught them. Hahahaha Do whatever suits you except when you plan to enter in a competition.

So funny because I was taught there on how to quilt and they taught me square. LOL

My preference is if I do square corners on borders then I do square binding. Metered corners on borders then get metered binding. Also Sharon Scamber is fantastic and the glue tecnique is the way to go and definitely get her glue tips. No pins and no basting. Good luck on any way you decide.

If you're happy doing them your way and they look good then I wouldn't worry about it.

I like mitering binding corners. I have started making my bindings 2" which works for me. I stitch to the front and hand sew to the back. But the funny thing is a lot of times three corners go really well and I have to come to terms with the fourth corner, haha. The ladies I quilt with once a week also say that sometimes that fourth corner gives them problems too. I have a better homes and gardens quilting book and it has color pictures and I found it very helpful but there's lots on line too

Another option is curved corners.

I have to find a video everytime. When I get close to a corner, I stop watch the video, rewatch the first step, pause video, sew, watch next step, pause video, sew, etc. I do this for each corner because I cannot remember from one corner to the next. 😂

I do the curve corners a lot. I use a saucer to make a gentle curve, just enough to clip off the corner. I like the look of the curve better then the miter.

I have the same problem. I just can't do mitered corners. Books, videos, people have showed me, dozens of times, but my brain just doesn't work that way. I gave up years ago. My square ones are what you're going to get. Sorry.

Please don't be anguished about this. Enjoy!
