Even though I enjoy hand binding and think it looks better than machine, sometimes I just want to get a donation quilt done quickly. Thus far I've been less than impressed with results of any of my machine binding efforts.
However, I was watching some binding videos tonight, and happened to see this one. Her method makes so much sense. Her teaching style suits my learning style.
This is the tutorial on machine binding. Little did I know that stitching in the ditch was the secret! Her mitered corners are excellent, too.

Great video. This is exactly how I sew on most of my bindings. No hand stitching for me.... If you use the 2.5" binding strip, be sure to take a full quarter inch seam when sewing it on (no more), and then you can get the good results Donna got. Otherwise there may be too much binding turned over on the back, which is a messy look once sewn.
