    I tend to do it on the machine..(shame on me) but I've made a commitment to do my next one by hand. I have developed a slight tremor and it takes some concentration to do!

    I machine stitch my bindings from the back to the front and use deco stitches the hold it down. I need to get it done quickly. No patience at all for any hand stuff. THANK GOD FOR MACHINES. LOL

    I think a lot of people dislike it because you are soooooo close to being done with the quilt. The hand sewing can be a really slow part so it is frustrating.

    I machine bind my quilts only because they need finishing, not because I like it!

    I really don't like to put on the binding either, but I hate to baste the quilt sandwich even if I use spray and pins. I have to use the floor & my knees & back are getting old.

    I am with you, I like the cutting and piecing, but dread the binding.

    I like hand binding, it is my favorite part after quilting, I know it has come to a close.
