Trying new things

Your quilts are darling. Very girly! I'm glad you posted about your binding. It has always made sense to me to sew onto the back and turn to the front. I can make the front look nice and not worry so much if I wiggle off the line in places. Sometimes I've sewn onto the front and turned to the back because the little quilt angel on my shoulder reminds me that's what a seasoned quilter would tell me to do. I usually always wish I'd done it the way I like, back to front.

Beautiful quilts!
I just switched from hand sewing the binding down on the back to sewing the binding all by machine. It's totally fine for the quilts that I make. Attach it to the back, flip it around to the front, then sew it down. HATED hand sewing the binding down on the back. I don't why I didn't switch sooner...

Im so glad to see others sew on the back and turn to the front. I thought you had to sew on the front. My back always looks better than the front on the corners. I'm sewing on the back from now on. Geri I took out about one inch when I first started and thought I would never get it out. Surprisingly it is really sewed together good. I also forgot to say that I did all of the piecing on my serger. With this Missouri Star pattern it was fine and it was really fast.
