I like binding. I use hair clips (the kind that you flex to open and close) to hold it in place while I hand stitch. My parents and inlaws each live about 4 hours away, so I enjoy stitching in the car. If we don't have a long car ride planned, I like to stitch while watching TV with DH in the evening after the little ones are in bed. There is very little on television that requires your full attention.
