Thanks for your lovely tutorial.

It was great to see how you do the corners as that it where I often go awry.

Thank you for the tutorial. I went back and looked at your previous posts. I always have trouble with joining the ends of the binding. It hasn't "clicked" in my brain yet but I keep going. This post will certainly help.

Great tips, loved the corner tip in the video! Always so much to learn online!

I've only been quilting since Aug. 2016 and am up to my 40th quilt. I have 7 tops I still have to quilt. All of the completed ones were done with the bindings by machine and I have gotten pretty good at them after all that practice!
Like shown here, I sew the binding on the front of the quilt, press away then fold over and press to the back, making sure it gets placed at least 1/8" or slightly more over the stitch line. What I do differently that posted here is I glue baste the binding down, using a fine line of quilt basting glue like Roxanne's, or one of several brands available. I use the ones that come out with washing. The glue really holds everything in place, no shifting, puckering and the corners are all set.
Once glued, I give it one more press. I then stitch 'in the ditch' on the front along the edge of the binding and because I have the fold just over the stitch line on back, it catches it perfectly, right along the edge.

From the time I start making the binding to having it completly stitched to the quilt takes me approx. 30-45 min. depending on quilt size. I like fast finishes, so I can go on to the next one!
