Thanks, but I'm looking for a way to use continuous binding right out of the package (since I've already got 1 side stitched down), not cutting it and joining them in perpendicular strips.

Maybe my cousin can dig out the quilt I made 2 years ago...

Maybe this is what you're looking for.....

Thanks, but that's not it either. You start off by stitching along the first crease, right sides and raw edges together, but I just don't remember how to fold the corner for the mitre. Do you fold the tape on the top of the quilt and do the "fold up, fold down" method to form that pinch? I tried that, and ended up with the wrong edge on the 2nd edge of the blanket. But keeping the tape unfolded on the top of the quilt while trying to fold the corner this way ends up with a big mess. I'm using 2" satin blanket binding that I ironed 2 extra creases in to form a double fold tape, for 1/2" finished binding. I didn't leave 1 edge wider than the other, just folded both raw edge in to meet in the inside crease, maybe I should have left 1 wider but I didn't.

It's driving me crazy that I've done this before and can't remember how, can't find the instructions I used then.

Not the best, but OK

My thoughts would be that you fold the top part of the strip down and make the mither on the front and then repeat the process on the back part of the strip. I would then tack the corner of the miters.
Does any of this make sence??

I found this on youtube. She is putting a satin binding on a baby blanket.

I think I've got it - I hope I've got it, since I sewed down all but the tail ends. Going to join those up tomorrow and then fold the binding over to the back, I'll take pix of the process. Wish me luck!

I still haven't seen what I was looking for, but thanks for the links anyway. I've got a true double fold binding, but b/c of the way it's folded, I've only got 1 thickness of satin o the edge. May not be too durable but this way I can hide the stitching on the top by folding the tape over. I may do the next blanket (not sure if I'm quilting either of these - girl blanket for CA baby, boy for NC) just using the satin binding as it comes , raw edges to the outside, then press when I fold over so there are 2 thickness of satin there. Will be easier to mitre too.
