I really enjoy it now that I believe I do a great job of it. The ladder stitch changed increased my speed & I can use any color thread and it does NOT show. Google for how to. Also the Sharon Schamber video sows how to glue and press the binding so pins are not needed. I did this just prior to learning the ladder stitch.
Practice even with binding improves our skills. Improved skills add to the enjoyment for me.
