Default Binding machine sewn by LQS owner for me!

I have told everyone that I cannot sew binding on. It's my defect. My LQS owner took 6 of my quilts and sewed the binding on them for me. She had her sewing machine up front at her cash register for a couple of days while she was working and did them. What a great friend!! Here's a few pictures of what great work she did. I only have my cell phone, so the pics aren't that great.

If you can't see, this one is has scallops sewn on the binding! It looks so cute and goes with the theme of the fabric.

This one was done on the bias! Can you see the loops she did?

I can't get any of the others to upload to this page. I don't know why, but they fail when I try to upload them. But I guess these two are enough to show you how kind she is to me. I told her to just machine sew them, and she went to all this trouble. She charged me $31 for each quilt and they were large quilts! And that included cutting the fabric into 2 1/2" strips and sewing them together, ironing them in half and sewing them to the back and then sewing them with a fancy stitch onto the front. And she had to use more than 1 spool of thread for a few of these quilts.
