go to a good cause. Would that work?

2. I can handle the straight machine quilting but am wondering about the
binding. I always sew the binding on the front by machine and then finish it
by hand on the back. I'm not sure how I can finish the binding neatly by
machine. How do you all finish yours.

Looking forward to answers so I can order a kit and, hopefully get started using
my stash.

Thanks.

You can make one with your own fabric and just mail it to them without requesting a kit. You can go to the web site and get their address. I sew the binding right on the edge with my machine. It still looks nice.
