I'm making binding for the first time and I'm a little confused. Everywhere I've seen instructions it indicates to hand stitch the back side of the binding down to the quilt? Why hand stitch? The quilt I'm making is going to be a pretty heavily used one, and it seems like a machine stitched binding would hold up better.
