Hi, you are a brilliant, I have been fighting on with joining the binding by laying the fabric ends at right angles to each other and sewing a line diagonally across which is a bit tricky and always seems to pucker the binding when I sew it on the quilt, your method of just ironing a straight line where the end fold joins is fab, much easier and a lot less fuss, thanks, Cheers Sharon.
