That is what I do

Yup! It seems no matter how hard I try, one corner has the miter. I just go on as if it isn't there and most of the time it nestles in as it should.

This is how I do it. Sometimes you can't avoid it. WOrk with it until it looks good.

This is what I do also. I often like to piece different colors for bindings on kid quilts, so sometimes the seams just can't avoid a corner no matter how well you planned and measured. So when the seam falls on a corner, I cut the fabric 2-4" or so short of the corner and make a new join. No problem at all, if you have enough fabric.

This is the way I do it too! This dry run sure saves a lot of hassle for me.

I do a trial run by laying the quilt out and pinning the start position, then running it around the quilt to see where the seams fall. I can almost always correct a corner falling seam by shifting the starting position. If by chance I miscalculate or "forget" to do a trial run, I simply cut the binding and reseam at least 12 inches before I get to the offending corner.

My first quilting class teacher showed us how to "walk around" the quilt with the binding before determining where to start it. If any seams end up at the corners, adjust where you start.

I do a test run too. I learned the hard way to try it out first.

I measure my quilt first, to make sure there are no seams at the corners and you can do this if you mark your quilt where you are going to start, then measure each side then sew each strip of binding to fit each side of the quilt. Hope this makes sense.

Same here!
