I refuse to hand-stitch my bindings. Neither of my grandmothers did theirs that way so I'm just not used to it. It seems like just way too much work, and also just not quite as secure as machine sewn binding. (I'm sure it's fine in reality, that's just how it SEEMS to me.)
My binding is never perfect, but neither is any other part of my quilt so it all matches, LOL.
