I think you are right. I think only hand stitching looks good...for me anyway. I haven't hand sewed binding for a while, that's why I have 7 quilts stacked up, but if you can get a queen size out that fast, maybe I should just spend every evening hand binding so it looks as good as my quilt. I am still making quilts. I think I should stop and bind instead. Thanks for reminding me about how nice hand binding is. It does make all the difference.
