I think that those of us who don't like doing the binding are trying to say that it is not the binding itself that we don't like doing, it is the hand sewing part of it that we do not like. I for one would like nothing more than to be able to sit & watch TV in the evening with my dear husband and sew on a binding. However, with my crappy handsewing abilities (there I said it), I am never going to enjoy the fairy tale of sitting & watching TV with my dear husband, yada yada. So, I sew that sucker entirely by machine so I can finish up in my sewing room & still have time in the evening to watch some TV with my husband. :mrgreen:
