I see a lot of pictures of machine stitched binding on the board. Am I the only one who prefers hand stitched binding even for the simplest projects?

I love to hand stitch binding
|
I machine stich to the front, turn and hand stich to the back. I just like the look better.

Nope. I prefer hand-stitching my binding.

I prefer hand stitched too, I tried machine stitching but I love sitting and stitching the binding down, call me crazy ;)

Oh, I'm so glad to know that I'm not alone. I don't know why, but I find it quite satisfying to put the last stiches into something by hand. I can do it while DH and I watch baseball on TV, or even a movie. Just did one tonight!

I love hand binding quilts and like the look of it. I can't even get the machine sewn ones to look nice and end up ripping them out.

Sorry - machine stitched here. My dear quilting buddy hand stitches hers and seems to like it, but then she'll tell me about the number of hours it took her. I'm a "pedal to the metal" kind of girl and that's just too slow for me.
My time may come, though. I have a quilt at the quilter's now - it's for my mom and I may bite the bullet and do that one the "right" way. Sigh. I'll let you know. |
