Not my favorite past time either. Get the quilt put together, let someone else do the binding.
|
I hate it too and was chatting with my friend at the LQS the other day about it - she LOVES binding. We're trying to work out a swap :) I just need to figure what special talent I have that she needs!!

I love doing binding! I sew it on by machine, and then I sew the back down by hand. And I find it very relaxing.
It's like the relaxing point after all the planning and cutting and piecing together.And it truly is the crown on your project. |
I am a convert to the Sharon Schamber glue technique. Perfect results. Especially the corners
|
Those video links that were shared are the only reason I like binding. I don't have the patience for hand sewing binding on, after all, the best part of the quilt is done, I just need to finish it! But I acctually had 3 quilts ready for binding with binding cut and everything and when I discovered those videos last night, I blew threw them, all I need to do are quilt patches on the back so I can gift them.

Anyone with me? Susie (aka "Frustrated Binder") |
Nope, not in your camp, I love doing the binding. The only time I don't love it is if I'm behind on a deadline and at that point I wish it was done already so I could get the quilt out the door!

I admit I'm picky about using tiny stitches that are invisible, but I don't like hand work. If I could figure out a way to do the whole thing on my machine, I'd be happy!!!
I personally like to do the hand work, is very peaceful. |
I like binding. I know the quilt is almost finished.

Yeah...I have a binder..she does all of my bonding in exchange for LAQ> Works great for me!
