Well, I guess until I figure out a way to achieve perfect stitching on the back of the quilt, I will stick to hand binding. I make quilts for customers and I want the binding as perfect as possible. I really don't mind doing it by hand. It's very relaxing for me. I want to get through the whole Bible so, when I bind, I put on my Bible cd's and get two things accomplished at once! :) I sure appreciate everyone's comments. I learn so much from this board!
