I like to do binding too! I do mine all by machine. I think like you, that I enjoy doing that last step that will finish off my quilt.

I love sewing the binding on because it's the last step, and then the quilt is finished. I also love to handsew, so that helps

I sew the binding on the back side of the quilt by machine then fold it to the front side and hand stitch it down, I like the look of hand work on the front of my quilt. I .love doing the binding as it means the quilt is almost ready to use or hang.

I like to bind as well. It's nice to throw a quilt on my lap on a cold night and hand stitch the binding on while watching TV or talking on the phone. Plus it gives me a sense of accomplishment.

I also like to do binding by hand. To me it is like putting a frame on a picture. I find it very relaxing too.

and when you are around my house and I need to have binding on a quilt, who do I ask, my mother (johanka) of course :P Just wish you were around more often, this is the one part of a quilt that I do not like to do

Not my most favorite part - but I don't hate it. I think we all quilt for some sense of satisfaction. Where we get it is different for everyone.
