Me, too. I wouldn't re-bind partly because binding pot holders is not as easy as it seems, and partly because, well, just because. It's a pot holder, after all, and pot holders in my home won't survive to be heirlooms!

When machine binding, I often use different color threads in the bobbin and the needle. Sometimes I use a thread that matches the binding on the top of the quilt and a different color in the bobbin that blends easily with the back of the quilt. That way I don't worry too much about perfect binding. That has made my bindings look 90 % better. But they're never perfect. Ever.
