I used to have my mother do the bindings for me because I dislike getting the quilt trimed and sewing it on the first time. I finally learned a fast way to trim using my ruler and rotary cutter. I have learned a way to attach the ends that works for me every time and now my bindings look good. I sew most of them on by hand because that is the way I do them the best. I have seen some machine bindings that looked very nice. Would like to learn how to do them so the back sewing would be in the ditch but can't seem to make them that way.
