It depends on the quilt really. If it is a printed child's quilt, the birthing method is a down and dirty fast way to finish them off. I pin and do some machine quilting in the center and a stitch around the edge to stabilized the quilt for lots of washings.
If it is a pieced top with lots of details it deserves a hand finished binding in my opinion. I did buy a binding tool for the bernina and hope to take the time to learn it this coming year. I get intimidated with new things... LOL!
I make many donated quilts and purses and sometimes finish other people's donations to the diabetic children's silent auction. I also have helped the animal shelter. I want to make bibs and wheelchair pockets for a local county live in senior center. I bought the patterns, so maybe this year?
