Binding on a Hand pieced Wall Hanging
#1
Any hand piecers out there? I am just finishing a wallhanging that I have totally pieced and quilted by hand.
Can I apply the binding by hand also? How do I do the corners? I like the corners mitered when I sew binding on by machine but can I do it that way by hand?
I have found hand stitching to be very relaxing. I want to do more of it now!!
thanks for advice. You are all so helpful.

I don't see why you can't just sew them on exactly as if you were doing it by machine. I do think you would want to make your stitches very strong, perhaps double thread, since there will be some tension on that part of the quilt while you're turning the binding to hand-sew the other side. I also believe a lot of vintage quilts have binding that is just the backing turned to the front.

This video shows you how to sew on the binding using the machine as well as hand sewing.
