Help! Need mitered binding tutorial????

Here's my video on how to connect the beginning and end pieces with a mitered seam. My other 2 videos on the starting and making the corners are on youTube as well, but the quality is poor.

I wanted to find the glue tip that Sharon used on her binding tutorial. Guess what? The question came up on this board a few years ago! Anyhoo, since I live in Germany, i went straight to Amazon and found Roxanne's Glue Baste. Hope it works! I am sure I can find Elmer's washable school glue around here for refills.

I think Jan's method would probably be easier to learn. Sharon is certainly correct that the quality of the mitered corners is a major factor is judging. I have certainly heard this on quilts of mine and I have had more than my share of blues. Looking at Sharon's corners, I think mine come to a better point, probably because I cut the batting out (on a 45* angle) to make space for the binding to come to a sharp point. I have not used Sharon's glue method and might well try it for a flatter edge. I will re-emphasize that having the binding full and exact corners has made the difference for me between blues and no prize several times. I use a different method to achieve the same result of exact connections on binding ends. They are important too.

I posted a tutorial here once, but can't find it now. Tried to post it again, received an error message I think. PM me your email and I will send it as an attachment. It is a word doc. I use it to teach a binding class. No special tools, 3 pins, small ruler and a marking pencil.

Holice has instructions posted on here. I have the printed and follow them exactly every time and it works. It's the only way that works for me and I have to read it every time ----- maybe I'm slow!
