I'm working on a quilt for a small child, so I figure it will go in the wash often. I know that Downey wants all their quilts entirely machine done, including the binding. I've always machine sewm my binding on the front and then hand stitched it on the back.

So how do you do your bindings for Downey quilts? Is it OK to machine stitch it on the back and then just machine stitch it on the front, or as someone else suggested, use a blanket stitch on the front? And how hard is it to get the miters right if you're machine stitching? I'm a little nervous about this.
