Hate hand work! That's why I learned how to do the faux-piping binding that is all done on machine. Mine looks great when I do it by hand, just takes so long and makes my hands hurt.

I really don't mind doing the binding. I got three quilts back in the mail last Friday, put one of the bindings on that afternoon and the other two Saturday. I save whipping the down until I am sitting in the doctor's office or other type appointment. No wasted time that way and since I have developed a way to hide all of my stitching on the back, it is wonderful. And then you can call it FINISHED! !!

I am not crazy about binding it. I sew it on with the machine and
then turn it under and do it by hand and that part is fine. Just
hate to get the first part done.

I don't seem to mind any part of quilting because I take my time and do each step as a slow process. :P

Go to google and type in Faux Piping Binding Tute and there are a few sites to click on. This is a neat way. Also I have heard that charity quilts for children should be machine bound not hand stitched. This helps a lot. You end up stitching in the ditch and it looks like piping when you get done.
