Binding by Machine

OOPS! I said I sew it from the back side. This is wrong. I sew it in the ditch on the front. By pinning all around, it holds the binding in place on the back so I don't have to worry about not catching the binding on the back. It works for me.

I sew my binding to the front, then fold it over and pin it to the back every inch all the way around the quilt, then sew it from the back side. I use Alex Anderson's method and my binding is cut at 2 1/8 inches wide. Like I saidtho, I want to try this method and see if I like it better and see if I can do it in less time and get the same result.

I'm open to trying something new and I intend to give it a try. That's just the way I learned and it works for me. If this new method works just as well I will dump my old method and use this one. I hope it does work well for me because I hate the alternative. Undoing, redoing, handsewing. I'm a once around kinda guy. I don't want to have to go back and fix stuff. Oh, well I guess if you are sewing it down on the front you are guiding it so you can see what your doing. The light bulb just went off. I get it now. I'm definitely going to give it a try. So sorry! It takes a while to sink in sometimes.
