I usually hand sew all my bindings, but have lately machine sewn a couple of charity quilts.

You can make it decorative by using a feather stitch.

Hi! I just finished a quilt and accidently sewed the binding on the back first. I didn't want to take it apart and the Quilt police were nowhere to be seen to I just sewed on the front. I hand sewed it but thought about machine sewing it.

I usually sew to the front then hand the sew the back but lately I've been experimenting doing it all by machine. I guess it will depend on what it is. ;)
