Great sites. Thanks for the info. I usually have problems when joining and can't wait to try this.

The best way I learned was from Becky Goldsmith. She said to start with one end of your binding already cut at a 45 degree angle. When you reach about 12" from that first end, you tuck your longer end into the beginning end; draw a line on the longer piece where the 45 degree piece ends. You just put your ruler on the 45 degree mark and cut 1/2" past your mark. Now you have two 45 degree angles and you sew a 1/4" seam. Works like a charm; perfect binding every time without all of the extra measuring.

I use the method in the first video, but after cutting the two ends three inches ( width of binding strip) I trim one end by an extra 1/16 or so before sewing ends together. Since all of my binding is on the bias, this helps me not have too much stretch in the finished binding. Lays nice and smooth and no one can see my join.

Thank you Watson for asking the question and Prism for posting the video. It's excellent. I had 2 wheelchair quilts to bind today. I thought I'd try the new method with my computer right next to my sewing machine. But turns out, the method is so simple that after watching the video twice I was able to do a perfect job on my quilts - all by myself!!
