I never did this before and I want to make sure that I am doing this right
Thanks for your help in this....

Have a look at these two videos and they will show you how easy it can be. You will get better and more accurate with each quilt.

I have been sewing binding down for many years but recently someone told me that ironing it down first made it easier, and they were right. I iron from the right side before turning to the back and it makes a world of difference! After I ironed it I found that I didn't need to pin--
