I machine stitched all 12 of the quilts I gave to family last Christmas. I sewed the binding to the back and then used a decorative stich on the top side. They looked fine! I was told by a lady in the guild that unless you are entering your quilt in a show that it was okay to do machine binding. Good luck and think of how great it will feel to have them all done and moving on to something more exciting. Plus remeber now to iron the binding in half
