i bind quilts for a couple of my customers- one who simply doesn't like to hand stitch-but doesn't like the way machine bindings look- and a couple ladies who have arthritis and it hurts them- I enjoy hand work and it doesn't take me that long so it is a service i offered even before i started long-arm quilting for people...sometimes a person brings in a (rush quilting job) and they want the project completely gift ready when they pick it up-
i think there are actually alot of people out there who bind for others.
