Binding question
#1
I just got my quilt back from the long arm quilter & now I need to add
the binding.
Do I sew the binding by machine onto the front & then turn it & hand sew it to the back, or machine sew it to the back & hand sew to the front?
Thanks in advance for your help.

If it's a fancier quilt, I machine stitch from the front and hand sew to finish on the back. But I have made kid quilts where I want a durable and quick binding so I machine stitch to the back then flip it over to the front and use one of my machine's embroidery stitches to stitch down the front. Looks cute, esp. with contrasting fun thread and I think is more durable.
