I have hand sewn with a blind stitch many times, but I am working a big project and I have 5 more quilts to bind... I want to sew with the machine. Then I feel like they will stay on better and it will be quicker. But the stitching will show on the other side if I use my machine.
What do you guys do about that? Do you just let it show?
Please let me know your thoughts
Thanks
Yes, it will show on the back side as a topstitching. But you eventually get a feel for it and your stitching on the back becomes more even and uniform. I never use glue, only pin the binding in place before sewing.
If you need it not to show, you will have to blind stitch it by hand.
