Mitered Corner

 

There is a back-up of comforters in my sewing space that need binding.  Yesterday I tackled one for the first time since before my December illness.

All went well until I went to turn over the sewn-down binding and realized that I'd done something wrong at the corners.  I've done mitered corners hundreds of times, have taught classes about how to do it, and done a handout (wish I'd kept one.)  And it was like I'd never even seen one.

Eventually I looked up someone's kind tutorial and figured it out.  But the experience was humbling.

I've cut out the binding for the next comforter - maybe if I do another one fairly quickly, and do it right, it will stick in my head.  Fingers crossed.
