Oh dear, it seems I have offended with my honest opinion. I'm not saying your machine stitched bindings on quilts are not lovely, but I believe the market also reflects my opinion -- if you look at sales of quilts, they will always command a prettier penny when hand bound than machine.

And dear girl who suggested that I have not quilted long enough to have my opinions -- in my 85 years, some 78 of them spent in quilting, I have most definitely made my fair share of quilts. Certainly enough to entitle me to my opinions. Many I have gifted or given to charities, many others are heirlooms, but please do not presume to guess about my output. The numbers I have made are in the hundreds. All of them stitched most joyfully with hand bound bindings and these 10 arthritic digits.
