I have always used hand quilting thread and also used the blind stitch. I enjoy that final touch by hand... Have fun and that feeling of completion...I also have started using the snap shut hair clips - no more being stuck by straight pins...

I am bound and determined to machine stich my bindings.
So far they are not perfect but getting better.
Ive learned that you need to square up the top before basting so the binding goes on straight. I use Steam a Seam to hold the binding in place on the back side as pins drive me crazy. I use a stich in the ditch foot on the front it works better than a walking foot.

Good Morning, I have been registered for some time, and have enjoyed everyone's comments,hints, instructions etc. I have only made one quilt which I am ashamed to say I finished in a "quillow" fashion. :( I have made my DIL a wallhanging for Christmas, everything went great until the binding - oh my gosh, it has the dreaded wave. If somebody could please direct me on how to fix this I would be so very appreciative, my DIL probably more than me, since hanging such an unattractive item would be something she would do, because of she would never want to offend. Please any help would be so welcome.

wave. your quilt must be square to hang right. well even.
perhaps you could wet it and block it. by that I mean you would stretch the sides and corners till they measured correctly. then let dry and that should fix it.
hope you got it corrected without having to remove binding.
