I was wondering if you could do the final binding totally by machine instead of by hand? It seems if everything else was sewed by machine the binding should be too. I have 2 quilts to bind now before I can start on another project.

I do all of my binding by machine. I usually stitch it to the back and bring it around to the front. Then I use a decorative stitch to stitch it down, a regular stitch looks great too. You can even use a contrasting colored thread :D:D:D My hands just can't do a lot of hand sewing anymore... so I machine stitch most everything.

I recently followed this tutorial to machine bind a baby quilt. Altho challenging it turned out pretty good IMO. I'm sure I'll get even better over time. I'm sure I'll get better over time.

Fabricnut, Check out Sharon Schamber network- you do have to register but its free and binding (video) is a free area.This is how I do my binding now, someone on here mentioned it, so I tried it and love it , no pinning. You only use a small amount of Elmer's School Glue,it holds it down while you sew but it washes out. Her Binding is legendary and she has an updated website now! much faster! :D Hope this helps!
