binding help!
Hi, Im trying to hand sew the back of the binding, for the first time. I have done it by machine before. Its a disaster. I can see my stitches, and they arent even, and its really bothering me. Have already ripped them out once and this is my second time around. I have seen some tutorials online, but its so hard to see how the stitches are being done. My other mistake is I made the binding way too narrow, I cut it at 2 inches, so its really thin, making the process harder I think.
Any tips on needles? stitches to use? Any help is so appreciated!

I use a small - sharp needle, and use my little finger to create a standard measure for my stitches. Run the thread inside the binding when moving from point to point... Don't use a long thread.. just knot it after you have stitched a couple of feet.
Make sure the thread matches the binding - and Voila... You will be happy with the results.
