I machine the binding to the front and hand sew the back.

Machine sew the front and hand sew the back - sometimes I do the whole thing by machine - and yes, it always shows on the front. Sometimes I do the envelope method too. Depends on the project.

I do it all by machine. I'm really pretty bad at any kind of hand stitching. I make my binding wider in the back, so on the front it shows about 1/4 inch inside the binding. I've just decided that's how my quilts will look. There's already quilting stitches that show, so the binding stitching just becomes part of the quilting.

I machine sew it to front and hand stitch on the back while watching (or listening to) TV. I tried machine sewing, but I don't think my stitches were neat enough, so from on it's hand stitching the back for me.

Usually machine. For a quilt with a lot of handwork, I hand sew to the back.

I machine the front and ladder stitch the back. I really love binding, could do it for hours...love the look it gives and the sense of completion.

If it's a wall-hanging, placemat, table topper, quilt for doggy/kitty, or charity quilt - by machine. If it's a bed quilt or lap quilt - by hand.
