I’m self taught so for a long time I had no idea how to join the ends of the binding in a neat way. Learning how to do it properly made a big difference.

Thanks you Teresa.
I also love your two colour binding, when finished it give a piped effect. Great idea. L

Sorry, but this method is much too cumbersome and leaves a lump at the joint, not to mention that it involves a a ruler and pencil!
All that is needed for a smooth joining is two (2) straight pins, period.
If you contact me Teresa, I would be happy to send you instructions, with pictures, for every step.

I would like to see them too. This is the type of binding I always do.

When I do this type of binding, I end up opening it up flat and basting the join to try and get it aligned so the colors match. Takes me a few tries! Always looking for a more efficient way.

I press open too usually and trim the corners off. I don’t worry too much though because I don’t enter any competitions or exhibit my quilts. Basting would certainly help because sewing with that much space to manoeuvre can be tricky.

Do you have a pdf of this process that I could print out ?
