I guess the only thing I like about binding is cutting the strips to do it!
I bind because it is a must. I am getting better at it and have adopted many techniques gathered here on the QB. I also switched to only using binding cut on the bias. For me, the bias binding is more forgiving than straight of grain and I can get it to lay flat, no bubbles or wrinkles. I machine sew it to the front but I am hand stitching it down on the back. I am never happy with my bindings when I machine sew the back down. It takes me a while due to neuropathy in my hand but the end result is sooooo worth it!
