I usually don't bother with binding, just make sure your backing is 2 inches longer all the way around, and then double fold it over to the front and stitch! That brings the backing fabric into the quilt, and is much quicker and easier than an actual binding!

TERRY BB, have you seen the faux piping binding tute? Ihaven't done it yet but have seen it and it looks nice. You could use a decrative stitch on the front so it will look good when you turn it over for an idea also.

Sounds like we need to have a co-op where the cutters can cut, piecers can piece, quilters can quilt (jumping up and down, waving my hand here) and binders can bind.
How can we get into groups of four where we can do what we love the most and still get those beautiful quilts made???

I used to hate getting to the end of a project, wanted to move onto the next one. I found a really nice serpentine stitch on my machine and have been using that to sew down my bindings (for my last 3 quilts). Now I get finished much faster and are finishing more. One of those, I just remembered that my Mom hand-sewed one of those... :):):)
