I 'attempted' to machine sew my binding...it was such a disaster. It got all puckered and messy...and now I'm leaving it that way and calling it a homespun, homemade, loved-looking quilt because to rip out all that stitching is not happening :cry: :cry:

I don't mind sewing the binding on and turning it, I use glue method, but I don't really care for the hand stitching part. I haven't tried using the machine to do it yet. I just hand stitch at night while watching tv.

i've literally made hundreds of quilts- i've never successfully done a complete machine stitched binding- i always wind up hating how it comes out---so now i don't even consider it- i machine stitch to one side- fold to the other side- and hand stitch it down---always turns out just fine---with no aggrivation/frustration or drama.
