If you have a feather stitch on your machine, I think it would look fantastic on both sides.

I press again.. and then I pin it herter and yon to hold that crease, I pick out one of the more stylish stitches that would would with the quilt, using the same thread and then make sure it's even right down the edge of the border so that it's stitched on both sides. Meaning the edge of the border and the quilt. The design stitch would be a bit wide then usual, but since I have gotten the hang fof it, it also looks fine on the backing when it's done. If you cannot climb the entire mountain, then cut through the pass. As long as it gets you there.

I machine stitch mine with a zig zag stitch. Also have turned the backing over the front for the binding too. I don't hand sew anything unless it is to sew on a button! But, mine are for the kids at church and g-kids and they don't care how I sew it together,just so it is theirs! lol
