Default quilt books

I am looking for names of the best books you know of that I can order #1 hand quilting and #2 binding. I keep putting off handquilting as I don't know where to even start and I am still struggling with binding.
Thanks,
Evelyn in Sequim

I am not a hand quilter, but I have been told that That Perfect Stitch is the best book for hand quilting.

Jinny Beyers has a book out. Check her website. She does everything by hand.

I have a book called " Happy Endings" (don't laugh) by Mimi Dietrich. I refer to it a lot. Basically it is how to attach bindings (many kinds) to your quilt.
