    The secret to a sharp mitered corner is to stop at the right distance from the edge.

    Take the guesswork out with the Prep-Tool by Guidelines4Quilting and the Bohin Mechanical Pencil.

    1) Butt the lip edges on the Prep-Tool up to the edge of your top.

    2) Mark the stopping point with a Bohin mechanical pencil.

    3) Stop sewing at the mark.

    6) Fold the binding strip back down, keeping the fold in the strip aligned with the top of your quilt.

    7) Continue stitching the binding to the top, taking a few back stitches when you start.

    8) Do the same in the other corners and then stop when you get about 10" to 12" from where you started and take a few backstitches.
