I like sewing it on, too....I love the last few stitches when you realize "the quilt is DONE" and turn it over to see how much that REALLY finishes off the quilt!

We can all be weird together. :) I like doing the bindings - I sew the front by machine, press and do the back by hand. A king-size quilt can take three or four evenings to hand-finish, but I like hand work and it's worth it to have one DONE! :)

I LOVE doing binding. Everything about it. Making the strip, ironing it, sewing it. LOVE IT.

I enjoy applying the binding, too! I've only done it by machine, but look forward to trying the handsewn binding sometime soon. I love watching the quilt near completion!!

I also like doing the binding by hand, its relaxing to me..

I love to hand sew on binding. AHHHHH the finished product!! But with hand arthritis, I don't hand sew everything. If it's a wall hanging I use steam a seam on the back and it works great.

Oh me too! I love every step of doing the binding. I think it's so relaxing, plus it's exciting knowing that the quilt is almost finished.

I love hand sewing the binding on. To me it is relaxing and I feel like it is a old, ancient action that women have done for centuries. It feels like a connection/continuation with those women. How's that for weird?

i like doing bindings enough that i even do them for friends who do not want to do theirs-
for me it is the (finishing touch) to a project-- the last sewing step before the finished project goes into the washer- another project finished-
