I would like to toss in another perspective here. There are many of us out here, that, for whatever health reason may not be physically able to whip stitch our bindings by hand, myself included. To me, our quilts are quite beautiful because we have found a way to pursue our love for quilting and giving to others despite our various handicaps.
I'm in this same category. I learned to quilt by hand and just this year started using a sewing machine for ANYTHING. I now have to machine bind - I just apologize if someone questions my sewing the binding by machine. I haven't learned a specific PRETTY way, the binding looks ALMOST topstitched on the front - BUT it's the BEST I CAN DO - and that's enough. My health issues prevent me from even holding a needle now except with wire pliers - which have been a godsend.
