You can't really mess up because who can say that a so call 'glitch' is not what you really intended to do.
Go for it and have fun.

I actually enjoy binding. I usually sew binding on one side on 4-5 quilts and then sit over a couple of evenings and hand stitch them down. I actually find it as relaxing as hand quilting.

I sandwich quilts ready for quilting the same - usually have a day where I sandwich 3-4 quilts either for machine quilting or hand quilting. If I can co-erce friends into helping me I will aim to get more done :)

I do the same thing...I love binding though I was scared of it for awhile also. Then I watched a few utubes on "how to bind" and jumped in...Cousin showed me how to hand stitch back side so stitch doesn't show...was doing whip stitch that showed for awhile and I just love it at night while watching TV...
