Fold your binding strip in half wrong sides together. Pin binding to one side of the quilt. I like to pin it to the right side and once you sew that flip it over to the other side. Pin it to the other side and hand sew it down. Its very difficult when machine stitching to sew both sides at the same time and have it come out looking good and have the binding in the exact place that it needs to be. Thats why one side is done by machine and one side is done by hand. I am at work now, and don't have time to research it and find you a link, but if you google on sewing quilt binding, you can probably find some more help and probably pictures too. Good luck. I am so proud of you for sticking to it! Give yourself a big pat on the back from all of us!
