I still cannot get the miter on my quilts right. I think I am doing it right, except I am catching the bottom part of the material , and having to do the frog stitch (rip it) on it several times! Help SOMEBODY~ What am I doing wrong~ Would appreciate any commets on this~ I am stopping 1/4 " from the edge, cutting my thread and taking it out of the machine and then I am folding it up and then sewing from the top edge. I don't think I am folding it up right or something. When I get someone to show me, I think how easy then get home and cannot do it right. When I am in class I have them help me there and they turn out right every time, but another story when I get home alone! LOL One of the best gifts to give a child/grandchild is your listening ear.

Oklahomanana here is a web site that has diagrams showing how to miter the binding corners. http://mccallsquilting.com/lessons/binding/ If this doesn't help you, post in beginning or general quilting forums and you'll get lots of help there. Patsy Patsy
