I enjoy hand sewing on the binding. Can sit in my comfortable chair in the living room - spend a little time with the family. Have thought of doing a small hand quilting project just for that reason.

Sewing on the binding is the part of making a quilt that I most enjoy. Maybe it is the fact that the quilt is nearing completion that makes that step so exciting for me. Actually, I think it is that I so enjoy doing the hand sewing. I can sit in my recliner, watch TV and sew away. Incidentally, cutting, seaming, and pressing the binding fabric is the first thing I do when starting a quilt.

Guess I'm wierd too. I like hand-sewing the binding to the back. I sit and watch tv and before I know it, it's done. I'm with dmyers, I took a class and I reference the the instruction sheet every time I need to join the ends. Perfect joins every time, no muss no fuss, no drama, no trauma.
