I enjoy hand stitching the binding. It is relaxing and I get to cuddle with the quilt before it goes to its final home. Besides my Mother does it this way and told me to do it this way, being a good daughter, I do as she says.lol

I like the look, and my hands just cannot do the hand sewing :D:D:D

I have tried on several quilts for my own use and when I turned them over the stitching was not exactly along the edge and I hated it ti the point I unstitched it and hand stitched it back. I like tHe look of no stitching showing front or back.

God gave us machines to sew with, that's why I sew everything by machine!! My hands gave out a long
time ago and my machines are still going strong,
besides when the machines wear out I can replace
them with another one, but I can't replace my hands!!
