Binding curved corners

[leaky5]

Does anyone have any tips or links to tutorials for binding curved corners ?

I just can not seem to get them right. Maybe it is the material I am using, it is a nylon ribbon. Perhaps a more cotton type one would follow the curves better.

I am trying to do them similar to the Hazard 4 Ipad Sleeve.

Use a bias cut tape - Bias Binding - this conforms to curves, inside curves and outside, like a dream as the fabric "distorts" as the fabric is cut at 45 degrees to the straight of grain.
This is what I bind the arm holes of my gilets.

Thanks John. I am a bit worried the bias binding might be a bit thin. I will just practice with the Grosgrain and herringbone and see which I can do best with. I may even pop and see the guy who does the sewing at my local dry cleaners and ask if he can do it, although I would rather learn to do it myself.

After a few failed tries, I decided to go for basting / sailmakers tape. Not the quite result I wanted, but also not to bad.

The results are over here
