I am still working on the final end of the binding. I am going to win the battle with this problem area.
|
No I really like binding, it is one of my favorite things. Hand sewing the binding to the back.
|
I like it because I can take to a chair and do the hand work. I must hire me out. I think I dont sit enough....joke.
|
I do my binding in the evening while watching TV. To just sit & bind can drive me nuts. Although, it does not bother me like it used to...it's still my least favorite part of quilting.

thanks for the links, I like binding

While I think mine looks better - - it only looks better if it is done. Works for me. Hope she doesn't get tired of binding.
For the person who wanted to know how to sew both sides by machine here are some links. She sews it on the BACK side first in a normal way (first video) and then stitches the Front side using a blanket stitch (second video). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wprg5vzkuGw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MRfA...eature=related |
Okay I like sewing on the binding. It does take a long time but I do in front of the boob tube. Prefer it to the actual quilting. Maybe we could trade!

I tend to set up "camp" on a comfy couch in my sewing room, feet up, tunes on (or TV) and just go at it. Quite peaceful, enjoyable and a relaxing time for me. |

I love doing the binding! Every bit of it, it completes it for me! I often offer to do it or help with others in my sewing group.
