I don't mind making the binding - I don't like having to put it on and I am fine with turning it and stitching. Someone told me she loves doing the binding because when it is done the quilt is finished.

I love doing binding, it's like the final 'frame' of the quilt. I also like to do while watching TV, I sew on the front by machine, then drape the quilt over my legs while relaxing and stitch away, do the back by hand and I love the feeling of finally 'finishing' a project, the binding is the final step, like icing on the cake! Many of my friends pay me to bind their quilts becasue they don't like binding either...

Normally its my favorite part but right now I have a quilt that needs to get in the mail ASAP and it is waiting for its binding. I would rather get a root canal then do it....maybe its just knowing that it HAS to get done that has me not wanting to do it.

"ME" I hate sewing on binding. I think my biggest problem though is my glasses. Need to make an appt. to get my eyes checked. But I'll still hate sewing on binding. It's so boring. My favorite part of quilting is "CUTTING". I love, love, love cutting fabric. Cut all my leftover scraps into squares,strips, etc.

I don't like it either. And since I have bad arthritis in my right wrist that was broken a few years ago, I can't hand quilt. So, on anything except nicer quilts (charity quilts) I have someone else do it. Charity quilts I do on the machine and pray.
