As with most everything else in quilting, what YOU quilt, YOU get to decide! Isn't that wonderful? I do most everything by machine, but I do like the look of the hand stitched binding. I am REALLY bad at machine binding, mostly because I'm too impatient to learn to do it to my satisfaction. I say, bind the way that floats your boat! (except for quilt shows. I believe they look for a hand stitched binding with miters stitched down too)
