binding / handstitching
#4
I do both. Depends how I feel. Sometimes I handstitch the badown, others I completely machine sew it down. Depends on if I sew binding to the front or back of the quilt first.If I sew it from the front, then I handsew. If from the back, then I machine it all

You can machine stitch the binding, but I have never been satisfied with this method. I prefer hand stitching both for the finished results and also it's relaxing to put in the hand stitches while watching TV. I look forward to this as an end step in finishing my quilts.

There are lots of posts on this topic. I know because I do mine all on my machine due to the arthritis in my hands/fingers and have posted how I do it. Just use the search engine and you'll see what I mean.
