I hate the cutting out part. Would rather be sewing. Also never liked the sandwiching part either but now mostly try to use the spray and now don't mind it as much.

I HATE hand sewing the binding! Why can't I find someone who loves to do hand work, and does it well, to swap for custom quilting on my LA???

I used to put off binding, but now I can't wait to finish the binding because that means I've finished another project!!!

Funny, I enjoy binding, but I don't care for sandwiching or squaring up (I just want it to be square, Thank you!).

I hate squaring up a quilt...so I am careful as I go so it's easier. I also hate removing the paper off paper piecing. Wow, lot's of little pieces come off.:):)

I have to put the binding on by machine because I have RA & can't hand sew. I know how to do it, but I can only work a short time before I start hurting. After enjoying most of the rest of the process of quilt-making, I just get frustrated because this is so difficult for me.

Exactly how do you do this? Glue a small area, iron it, glue some more, iron? I bought a glue stick thinking about using it, but wasn't sure how to do it, so I went back to pinning & cussing about the danged binding.
