Am I the only 1 who hates binding?

How about doing an all machine embroidery binding? There are tutorials out there that walk you thru' all the steps. I have photos on my website photo gallery of the all machine embroidery bindings that I embroidery stitched on my quilts and customer's quilts. I really enjoy stitching them with the embroidery stitches. They are fun to stitch!

Any get in the mood to bind advice out there?

You are so not alone..I hate binding..don't mind stitching the binding on the front but I despise doing the hand finishing. I am so anal about doing neat little stitches..it takes me forever to bind a bed sized quilt.

I don't like binding either. I had one quilt that was all done except for binding and it sat for about 6 months before I finally got it bound. I think it would have sat even longer but I wanted to put it in a local quilt show so had to finish it. Now that's it's done and the show is over I love having it on my bed.

I, too, love to do binding. I didn't use to, though. I think when I finally learned to do it right, especially for mitered corners and joining the ends together at the end, is when I started to love binding. I especially love the hand stitching! And most of all, I love that the quilt is done when I put in that last stitch! :D
