I love doing the hand sewing, it goes quickly for me my only problem is my corners hate doing the mitering.

binding is "NOT" my thing! seems like everytime i bust my back pinning it just right and fabric is all layed out nice and once you start sewing, there's bound to be more than a couple places that puckers or gets out of place! gRRRRRR!

I love to bind my quilts. It is the cherry on top of the cake to me. When the binding is done I am totally finished with the quilt and I love that feeling.

I don't mind putting the binding on, it's the making the binding I hate. When I piece the bindings, I invariable get some backwards...

I don't like doing the bindings.
I think it's because as hard as I try I don't have control of how they will turn out. Some are great and some the corners are awful.

I love hand sewing the binding down IF I have sewn it correctly onto the front. I like mitered corners, but last night I sewed the binding down wrong and will probably have to rip it all out and re-do it before I can do the hand sewing. I HATE ripping out.

I Love doing the binding, knowing that it is just the last step to a finished quilt!!!

Actually - it's the binding I love the best! I suppose it's a combination of two things - I enjoy hand stitching plus the fact it's done when I've finished the binding!!!
