Binding is my favorite part, to me it's very relaxing.

I hate with a passion! Most of the time I do the pillow thing and it turns out great!

I love doing the binding! For me...... it is like putting a photo in a frame. The binding highlights all the work I've put into the project. I will actually hurry to finish the quilting because I am excited to do the binding! LOL

I use Ricky Tims machine method. Very fast and looks great. My hands won't let me sew binding on by hand they swell and hurt.

I've never heard of this so googled it. Looks very interesting I like it. Here is the link I checked out. http://tlcstitches.blogspot.com/2010...-tutorial.html

I personally think binding is easy, and I do it all by machine.

I'm not fond of hand stitching the binding down, although it hasn't taken as long as I thought it would. But now I stitch the binding to the back and use my machine and a little stitch I have on my machine to machine stitch it to the front. I'm happy with that and will probably do that most times from now on :)

Hand sewing the binding on the back is one of my favorite parts - I do them in the evenings while watching (listening) to tv. I am also big into applique and do most of that in front of the tv at night. Do machine sewing during the day.

I don't mind binding my quilts. It makes me feel that with this project almost done, a new one will begin. What I really hate is quilting the three layers. I find it hard to push it thru and my arms get tired very quickly. Fibromyalgia and arthritis slow me down to the point of almost picking up the phone and calling the long arm quilter.
