    Every quilt I make is very personal to me. Binding is the last thing I do to create it. Hand stitching the binding is almost a religious experience. I love doing it.

    I know....I'm weird...

    Thats how I do it, too. Handstitching is relaxing when I watch TV.

    That's just what I do. I like it that way and I like to do hand work.
    This is the way I always do it, too. Gives me handwork to do in the evening which I always like to do.

    I have done both, but I think the hand stitching just looks better.
