I struggle with this too but I will have to have the video handy the first time around or maybe all the times I try it. Since there is usually a big gap between quilt finishes.

Good one! My way is even easier. LOL. I was taught this, at the first Paducah quilt show I went to, by a quilter who just had her miniature quilt accepted to the museum. She showed me in less then a minute with a scrap strip piece. I still have that scrap piece! There is now a youtube video of how to do it. I tweak the pocket fold a little and it's perfect.
You can scroll to the time 2:55 to get to the part of ending the binding.

Thanks diamondee. I had never seen that method. I see that it works but can't for the life of me understand it. Will have to try it. Onebyone, do you have to hand stitch that little flap down after you fold over and stitch the binding to the quilt?

That's where the tweaking comes in. I pull the inside binding down narrower so the top lays tight and even across it. I use narrow bias binding and it works great. I think for wider binding it may need a stitch or two. I have tried and can do all the other binding end joining but I always revert back to this one because it is so fast and foolproof.
