I like handsewing mine to the back (machine sew first to front). But then again I like some handwork. Plus I like the look better and have never been able to machine sew a binding on straight.

machine onto the front and hand stitch to the back
|
Like many others, I sew it to the front by machine, flip it and sew the back down by hand. I find it relaxing and love that part of quilting. But....either way is fine and don't let anyone tell you any different.

Since my sewing machine broke I have been using my old Singer to do my sewing on. I know that there was a binding attachment for those machines as my Mom had one and they worked really good. Can't afford it now but going to go looking for one.
|
I've tried to do it on the machine, but just can't get it to please me. I enjoy hand stitching anyway, but am always so anxious at that point to get it done.

I do binding by machine except on an occasional small object.

I do most of mine by machine anymore - carpal tunnel makes my hand fall asleep when I do hand stitching (very annoying!). I found this really cool binding foot that works great.

I machine stitch to the front and hand stitch down on the back. I only do the decorative stitch to the front method if I am doing a very simple charity quilt or something. Even then, I prefer to hand bind.
