Binding seems just like another border, with the same inherent problems discussed in this thread. But in the videos I've watched about binding, it is just sewed on, starting somewhere along one side and sewing around the quilt. Wouldn't doing it that way subject it to the same bunching problems that have been discussed here about borders?
Kinda looks that way, doesn't it? The credit at the bottom of the photo says Getty Images, which tells me it's probably a stock photo and they used a set designer, photographer, model, editor, etc who all are unfamiliar with sewing & quilting. I'm just amazed they actually used a picture that is undergoing the process of the topic of conversation - binding. Usually they show a completely finished quilt.

I may be mistaken, but I got the impression the OP was asking how to do a mitered corner with multiple borders when one sews all the border strips together and then attaches the border strip set to the quilt. If that is the case, here is a tutorial that might help.
