Me, too! When I took a class a few years ago on beginning quilting, we were asked if we wanted to be shown how to do the binding by machine or by hand. Well, I didn't think I wanted to do anything by hand, so I said by machine. I still hate looking at that binding. I taught myself to do it by hand for the next quilt, and could not get over how beautiful it was! In fact, that was the best thing about that quilt. I have tried a few times since then to do one entirely by machine, because I figure I should know how, but no matter how slow and easy I take it, it still looks awful.

When they give instructions it sounds simple but I tried several times and I consider myself a pretty good seamstress. To me it's worth the extra time nd effort to do it by hand so that ot looks presentable. good luck
