.. and I've been thinking for the last 2 decades that "I must be crazy to do this" Maybe I haven't been as insane as I've always thought I was. That's reassuring to me today!!!
Yeah...ditto here. I would add that when hand stitching the binding, make sure that your stitches are small and even. I like to use a tunnel stitch, so that the thread doesn't show much. It's a pain to do it that way, but if I take my time, I sometimes find it's actually relaxing.

Thanks for that tip about folding the binding with a pin's width of room.
