Now, before you put in your top binding on your quilt, align the raw edge for your sleeve with the top of your quilt & pin. Machine stitch your binding on the front of your quilt, catching the quilt AND the raw edge of your sleeve. When you go to hand stitch the binding, you will also have a finished edge on your sleeve. This way you only have one long side to stitch down. PM me if you want more instruction. I'd be happy to take more pictures.
