Put a line of glue in the seam allowance; pull the binding so that it just covers the seam line by about 1/8 inch, and iron the glue dry. I can do a whole quilt in less than an hour. Then it is simple to stitch from the right side. I can usually get that done in about an hour, too. The corners may need a little more attention, but I found an extra spot of glue where the corners overlap did the trick.

I was just noticing that as I hand stitched the binding. I wondered about inserting cord that is used for piping? Think I'll play with it on a small project like pot holders or place mat.

Turning and making the end fix exactly with the binding is a real challenge for me. My dyslexia kicks in over time, I have to re do at least twice. Bought the fons and porter binding tool, a little better, but this was perfect for me.

This is exactly how I make my binding, only difference, I press my beginning angle and trim at the ironing board. If you don't trim that angle you will have unnecessary bulk at the joining. I also trim the ending angle to help reduce bulk. I find this method to be a no brainer.
