do you bind by machine or by hand?
#33
I do it all by machine. I'm really pretty bad at any kind of hand stitching. I make my binding wider in the back, so on the front it shows about 1/4 inch inside the binding. I've just decided that's how my quilts will look. There's already quilting stitches that show, so the binding stitching just becomes part of the quilting.

I machine sew it to front and hand stitch on the back while watching (or listening to) TV. I tried machine sewing, but I don't think my stitches were neat enough, so from on it's hand stitching the back for me.
