Binding techniques
I'm hand binding a quilt. For those of us that prefer hand binding, do you whip stitch yours, or do what I call the hidden running stitch where you run the needle under the binding edge and then grab into the quilt again. Binding takes so much time, but I like this last way as the stitches seem to be hidden for the most part.

I was taught the blind stitch, but naturally gravitated to a ladder stitch on my own. I don't mind hand stitching a binding. I'll do it during certain jobs at work (where I have to sit and wait) or while watching tv.

Oh, and ever since someone posted it, I make sure not to make "snouts" anymore on my corners... snouts????

I do a hidden stitch but run my needle just under the backing in the batt and come up for a tiny bite of the binding. I stitch down my corners as I bind and do a knot every so often that I bury in the sandwich.
