I have seen BEAUTIFUL QUILTS, turned them over and they had machine stitched binding, I didn't love the quilt any less!

I do machine bindings all of the time. If I had to do them by hand they would never get done. Now..all that said, it did take me awhile to learn to do a good job on the machine (just like everything else, takes practice).
