I do it the Jenny Doan way BUT the biggest help for me was making a sample of how it's done but not cutting off the triangles and sewing it down so I can see each time how it's opened and overlapped.

I use an empty thread spool (the bigger the better) and use a long ribbon to hang around my neck. Trick is to have enough unrolled so you don't choke yourself and to keep a straight pin in the rolled portion.

I finally figured out, using a modified Fons & Porter method--with the tails from both ends of the binding (about 10-12" both sides), I lay them so that there is a 1/4" gap between and then press the fabric. This gives you creases that act as the guide to pin the right sides together (you have to scrunch the quilt up a bit) and I pin the heck out of it. Then you do your diagonal seam (just like when you are joining borders, etc on the bias). Don't cut until you check that you did not get any twists in the join--should lie flat--and after that, I trim & press and stitch down the rest of the binding--works every time and you don't get that "bump".
