I have to apologize. I enjoy binding. It is the step of accomplishment. I am almost finished with this project! I've never felt it has to be perfect. I machine stitch it to the front and hand stitch the back, using a ladder stitch. I have never seen anyone admire a quilt and say, "Look what a lousy job they did on the binding".

The big problem that I have had with binding is sewing the two ends together. I found this tip that really simplified it for me:

If you have problems with binding, I would suggest you get hold of the Ricky Tims video 'Grand Finale'. Buying that video has been one of the best things I have ever done with my money! His method of binding is foolproof and involves no hand stitching! It works for me every time and is far better than any other method I have seen - even on this board!

I feel your pain. I used to hate bindings until I purchased the Binding Tool - less than $10. There is an excellent video on YouTube by the Missouri Star Quilt Company called "The Binding Tool" and she gives a wonderful tutorial. Now I don't mind bindings at all, but do review the video each time before I do a binding.

Went to JoAnns Fabrics today. bought some binding, some 1/4" fusible. Can you believe all that cost me $182.00!!!Well actually I had to buy other stuff as well. I have a love hate relationship with JoAnns. She steals all my money with out me being able to fight back! I did save 92.oo according to my reciept with coupons, sales, and my 10% discount card i got through the Quilters club. ;) Now I am ready to pursue binding once again. will continue to practice on my little mug rugs.
