I hate doing binding, this is the technique I use to bind my quilts.

From the excitement of picking pattern and fabric all the way through the final stitch in the binding. Each aspect gives me something positive!

I hate pressing yards & yards of fabric! One yard or smaller is ok but any larger is just frustrating. I do like to prewash all of my fabric 'cause I've had problems with uneven shrinkage & bleeding. Recently I've found a cleaners that will wash, starch, square-up, & press my yardage!!! At about $10 per 3 yrds!!! Hooray!

I hate the sandwhiching a lot. It hurts my bad hip and challenges my weak muscles. Also really hate drawing the quilting lines (thus far that's the only quilting I've been able to achieve), but I enjoy the binding, only I forget until I'm doing it. Lol

I am not fond of binding or any form of ironing, or for that matter, pin basting. For baby quilts, I tend to use a birthing method (envelope) and bypass the binding. I have asthma and can't spray baste. I don't really hate any of it. I just set up proceedures so that I don't ruin myself in the process. Now that my DH set up a new sewing area for me, clean up isn't too bad either.
