Probably if I was ever going to enter anything into a quilt show or fair I would hand stitch, but i am a looooong way from that level. Most of my blankets have been for grandkids and I'm more concerned about them surviving multiple washings than a close inspection of my workmanship. I was told once that the binding is the first thing to wear on a quilt, so I always double the fabric and the topstitching ensures that it won't be pulling loose. Thanks for thumbs up!
