I'm trying to finish up a quilt I am making from "quilts for kids",they sent me the fabric and pattern, and,quite frankly I've done a shoddy job. I'm to the binding and they want me to do a self binding bringing the back to the front. I always sew on my bindingss and hand stitch them. Have never done any other binding so I don't know what I am doing. Do you think it will be okay to just attach the binding and machine sew it down so it is stronger. I'm pretty embarrassed about the work I've done so far. And I don't want to make it any worse. I'm tempted to just chuck it and donate some $ instead. HELP me figure out what to do! Thanks for the opportunity to vent this!

I did one QFKs with the binding wrapped from the back, but I didn't like it. It just didn't seem like it would take the wear a traditional binding. The last two I've done with a traditional binidng. I found some fabric that worked and just machine sewed it on like I normally do. QKFs says it is ok to do with the self binding from the back or to add your own traditional binding. They do say it has to be completely machine sewn though - no handstitching.
