I did a couple that came out not too bad. I stitched the binding to the back and brought it around to the front. I used elmer's glue and pressed to hold it in place. I played around with the needle position, moving it over a little until I was able to catch the binding where I wanted it. I wish I had written it down, but forgot. Will have to experiment again. I love the look of the handsewn binding, but for kids quilts and small items, the machine would be faster.
