This is the best tute I've seen on binding and corners. (Maybe someone else has posted it, but I don't have time this morning to read all the answers.)

Check out this web site for Heirloom Creations. They have a good You Tube film on an angle finder. Sarah shows you how to use it for any angle for binding. It's a good one. http://blog.heirloomcreations.net/?u...m_medium=email

PS...
One of the GREATEST things my quilting mentor EVER taught me is to patiently tear stuff apart and reconstruct. Yes, it's VERY discouraging, but that's how we learn. I had a major disaster awhile back and thought I had totally ruined a beautiful block. I showed it to a friend who's helped me learn to quilt and when she told me to rip out my LARGE mistake and just rebuild the block I thought she was crazy. I went home...thought...what the heck...the block is ruined so may as well SEE if I can actually reconstruct the block. IT WORKED.. I was beyond pleased as I was totally OUT of the fabric I had made the block from, and the fabric was from my stash so not like I could go somewhere, pick up some more fabric and make another block. The block was "satin stitch" rich...and I picked it ALL OUT with no damage to the block. I had to go slow and be careful, but it was a GREAT lesson above all.
You've put A LOT OF WORK into that project. Pick off the binding, and just put it back on. You'll be sooo happy you tackled it and got it right.

TA DA......
Ok ,after taking the binding of for the the third and fourth time in some places
, I staystiched the whole runner, because you could tell the poor runner was not happy looking 
I then followed the video and finally finished handsewing the binding on late last night.It is not perfect by a long run, but it looks sooooo much better.
Thank you all so much for all the advice, tips and for all the help . I could not have it done without you all.
You girls are the best
