I love every aspect of quilting EXCEPT binding so I feel for you. I usually send my quilts out to be bound by a gal who machine sews them on (cheaper) and I give them away so no one cares that they aren't hand sewn. I know how to bind a quilt, I've done it many times, but I just dread doing it. I don't like having to cut a bunch of 2 1/2" pieces and then sewing them together and ironing them in half and then sewing them to the quilt and then turning them over and sewing them to the other side. I have a bunch of quilts unbound waiting for me to do something with them. I was thinking I would actually try doing them myself, but really I know I won't. So, I need to send them out. It cost me about $35 each quilt (which is a lot of money) but at least they get done. And that includes the gal cutting the pieces and sewing them together, the whole process.
