I could in my younger days do 5' in an hour. Just look at how much nicer and more professionally your quilt will look. I would always watch TV. It is nothing simpler that a whip stitch that is buried. Come up and take a tiny bite of the binding and go back down the same place you came up and rock the needle and come up again for another bite of the binding down about a 1/4" from your previous stitch.
