I have never sewn my binding down by hand. Recently, I began a hand applique project and am finding, like so many in other posts have stated it is totally relaxing. I was thinking about giving the hand sewn binding a try and see what I think. Great tip about not loosing pins in the chair...they do have a bite! Ask me how I know. LOL.
