I just bound a wall hanging the other day, sewn on the front, hand blind stitched the back. First one out of I cant say how many quilts. I can say this.. it was the first and only time I was VERY happy with the end results of binding. My shoulder hurt when I was done (must be doing something funky?) my fingers were sore (poor eyesite oh heck! ouch that is my finger not the fabric!).. but the result was? stitches where I wanted them no flopping out of the seam, ripping a seam redoing the stitch here redoing it there.. it laid wonderfully on BOTH SIDES... worth the time completely. Wish I had tried it sooner. AND its easier than machine quilting so it got my vote as a not unfun part of quilting any longer.
