What is the best way to sew the binding to the back of a quilt?
I've machine stitched it to the front, but I'm afraid to do that on the back and screw up the way it looks on the front. If I hand stitch it to the back, will that be sercure enough? This quilt is going to a baby boy and I want it to hold up to a lot of love.

I always hand stitch on the back. If you want to some of the ladies sew it on the back and the machine from front with stitches where they want. Some are very good and only clip other tend to tack round first to position correctly.

I like to machine stitch my binding on. I use a decorative stitch. I have tried hand sewing and just do not enjoy that process. I do like the look of both ways. Many people enjoy hand stitching. I also have done both sew to the back and also front - both look fine.
