ANSWER

A mitered border gives your quilt a clean, professional look. But, I must warn you. Mitered borders are more challenging to sew than traditional borders. That's why some quilters shy away from them. But, if you have the determination, go for it. You can do it!
Currently, I don't teach this method to beginning quilters. But I found a couple websites that demonstrate this technique. I hope they're helpful.
