  It sounds as if you need to control the sheet at the corners only. You
don't need a pre-loaded binder as such, but some means to keep the
corners from wrinkling.  A  piece of  flat steel bolted diagonally
across each corner might just do the trick.  

  How's that for a hillbilly approach <g>

 The shape of the blank sheet is important; If you cut corners (pun
intended) the corners will draw/form more easily.  Remember, you'll need
*less* material in the corners than on the sides.

  If you do the draw in steps, you could try annealing the critical
parts (the corners) between the draws.  The sheet will work harden when
cold forming.  Heating to cherry red will normalize the material.
