I just paid $15.00 to have a large throw about 59 x 76 and that was machine stitched on the back and she folded over and hand stitched looked great. She has also machine stitched and did the whole thing for for $20.00 before and the same for hand or machine. She is a streamstress with a small office right next to mine. I think she just does this for me but I hate binding and love her prices. I would no way pay $50.00 plus to have a quilt binded. My sister has a long arm and she only charges .01 per square inch to quilt!
