I enjoy the peace and relaxation of hand sewing - but life is short and right now I have a deadline for getting a quilt to a new baby and I am experimenting with new ways to machine-bind that will look as good as my hand-binding.
So, thank you all for these great suggestions!!! Right now my fave is Charismah's tute on the flange which hides the SID, but the flange makes the quilt edges very stiff.
And If Sweaty (sweetie she aint!) Pie wants to lord it over those who 'don't care enough' to hand-bind, I hope that the air doesn't get too thin for her up there as she looks down at the rest of us from her seat of judgement while we are going our merry way to create quilts as we see fit. LOL
