I do it the same way. The trick is to make sure when the binding "boomerangs away" (before it comes back) the straight edges are perfectly straight (binding and quilt). When I fold it forwards, though, I don't add the extra ease. Students often put too much ease and that is what leads to "dog-ear" corners. If you don't square off perfectly and it is too short, you end up with rounded corners. Then when you turn to the other side "Fold the Fat side First." Basically, balance out the bulk.

Years ago I was taught to start the 2nd line of stitching 1/4 inch from the edge and what a nuisance that was!!So easy now that you simply begin at the outside edge!!! Norma P.
