Binding with Mitered Corners 1
Binding with a mitered corner tutorial:
I'm binding a doll quilt here, and I like my binding pretty narrow, about 1/4" wide. I cut my binding strips 1 1/8".
(If you prefer a wider binding: For example if you want it 1/2" wide, cut your binding strip at least 2 1/8". You can add a 1/8" or more if you have a thicker quilt, too. I use very thin cotton batting.)
I don't usually use pins here because I think it's easier to match my raw edges as I sew. Start your binding strip in the center of the bottom of your quilt, with the raw edge folded over about 1/4".
