Corners

  This is the easiest way I've found to do a neat corner.I always use the double thickness binding with the raw edges to the edge of the quilt. pieces joined at 45 degree angle.
  Sew along the edge of the quilt the width you want the binding to finish up e.g. 3/8th inch. when you get 3/8th inch from the corner stop with the needle DOWN. Pivot to face the corner and sew off the edge. This gives you a line to fold the fabric on. Fold the fabric back, and then down the next side. Repeat for each corner. When hand sewing the back, fiddle with the corner so that the bulk is on the other half of the corner. I'm attaching a drawing of the angle -just ignore the wobbly lines.
