My best binding ever

My best binding ever
We finished Molly's quilt a couple of weeks ago, but we were never happy with the binding. When we posted it, we purposely didn't include pictures of the binding.

I have read and watched videos and even taken a class, but I could never get the binding to look like I wanted. I think I have finally nailed down all the details, and this is the first quilt I practiced on. It took forever to take the original binding off last night, and today I put the new one on. Kim wants me to document everything I did, so I may do a tutorial for it. I know I'm not the only one who is too impatient to hand stitch a binding on but has been unhappy with all-machine sewn bindings.
If anyone is interested in a tutorial, please let me know.
Thanks,
Darren

Had a little bobble on this corner but I'm still pleased with it

Yes please! That is one of the things I dislike doing (hand sewing down the binding) and since it is the last thing to be done, I put it off for as long as I can. Maybe if I could watch TV and sew at the same time, I wouldn't dislike it so much .... but I can't! So I for one will be watching for your tutorial. Thanks in advance!

I will be watching for your tutorial. I'll be taking my third class on binding later this week. On a good note I can now do two corners pretty well. The other two are always kinda round. Of course in class it always works for me but when I try on my own I always have problems. LOL.
