    Funny ladies!!! I always square up my border corners before I start putting the binding on. And, I trim the top/batting/back from under the binding at the very corner (just a tiny bit), which helps the corner turn cleanly. Also, don't pull on the binding too hard when you are turning it - it can tend to stretch at the corners if you pull. Just a couple of little tips I got from other quilters.
