For once I am feeling successful! This is the way I always do hems on things or bindings. I taught a young woman at class how to do it and she immediately fell in love with not being able to see the stitches. :D

Part One:
Sew up to this point

Fold this up to corner and start sewing along the next side for about 1\u0094.

Push the needle back between the layers to the corner again

Part Two:
After it is secured, I take my scissors and tuck it in under the corner.

do an extra tacking stitch in corner and half way down the part you tucked.

Part Three:
Continue using the Ladder Stitch until the next corner and repeat.
