I don't mind hand sewing the binding but for deadlines so use the machine. Tried the Zip Bind system & didn't like it. Tried Elmer's glue & pressing the binding to the back then used my zipper foot to stitch in the ditch on the front. Just nudged the needle to the right a click or 2 & it worked great. The glue kept the back in place & my stitching line was very even. Will have to use this in order to get things done for the craft show in 5 wks
