No, I actually enjoy it, because then I am done; and on to a new project. I don't hand bind because of arthritis in hands, but my favorite is to roll the backing to the front and machine stitch it. I miter the corners and glue baste. NO PINS :!:

Have you tried machine binding your quilt. I don't do it on anything that I am going to put in a show (hahahaha) which means I do it on everything. I sew the binding to the back of the quilt, turn it over and use a button hole stitch to sew it down to the front.
If I do decide to hand stitch it, I do it while watching a movie. That way it isn't so boreing.

Thanks! This tute looks really easy. I'm going to try it on my quilt that needs binding! :thumbup:

I have done a whole total of 2 very small quilts and so far the binding is my favorite part because it is easy. I can sit and watch TV with several pugs on my lap while doing the hand stitching. I am sure I will learn to hate it, especially when I do my king sized quilt that I am working on now.

Keep in mind, binding is the last step and when done, you can go on to the next project. It will no longer be a WIP or UFO.

I have so many quilts with the binding sewed but I haven't hand stitched the back. I thought that I was the only one like that! Good news for me :D

You are definitely not alone!

I hand bind the back in front of the TV so I can spend sometime with DH. I did just recently bind one by machine and I did not like how the back showed the stiching as I was not able to stay in on the seam line.

I HATE binding the quilt especially when I have to sew by hand the other side!

I love to bind a quilt. The hand sewing relaxes me.

I love hand sewing the binding - it also relaxes me and when I see the finished product, I feel pleased all over. It's like reading a good book and coming to the end.
