    I have found that the binding clips (they look like hair clips) work VERY well. I was always poking myself with pins all the way around the quilt. Now I use the clips and I am a happy binder!

    Did you read this thread before or after doing your binding? :)

    One time was enough for me. Now I pin my binding before I start stitching. Takes more time, but I still have my mind, maybe.

    I haven't had this happen...yet. lol I don't pin or attach my binding at all when I'm sewing it to the front, so I just check the corner as I get closer to it and make sure there will be no seams. Since there hasn't been one yet, I hadn't thought about what I would do! hahaha I guess I would do like ditter said and just cut and re-attach the strip to avoid it.

    As long as you have lots of binding that's fine. The other day I had JUST
    enough binding and if I had to make one cut I would have been short.
    So that's one thing to consider. :-)
