I prefer hand sewing on the back, but understand why some prefer machine.
I like the looks of hand sewing to the back, but for 2 reasons I rarely do that; one being I have arthritis in my hands and wrists which makes hand sewing difficult and painful. #2 being that I make a lot of charity quilts and quilts made to be loved and find machine sewing the binding more sturdy through many washings.
