I am machine binding for the first time on a bed quilt I made for a grandson. The border is pieced and has points that must not be cut off to be pretty. I stitched the binding on the back and pressed it very carefully with all edges going toward the binding. I turned it to the front so I could place the fold up against the points in question and stitched it with a strait stitch in a color to match the binding (black) I am really pleased with it. I had to stop last night because I ran out of bobbin and will start again right after I get home from church. I have always done the old hand method and enjoy doing it. However, with this project I did not think I could hit all those points just right by placing the binding first on the front. I may have reached a new milestone because this is really not difficult if you cut and press carefully.
