I get excited when I am binding, it means it's almost finished!!!

I tend to do it on the machine..(shame on me) but I've made a commitment to do my next one by hand. I have developed a slight tremor and it takes some concentration to do!

I machine stitch my bindings from the back to the front and use deco stitches the hold it down. I need to get it done quickly. No patience at all for any hand stuff. THANK GOD FOR MACHINES. LOL

If our foremothers had had sewing machines....they would have used them too!

I think a lot of people dislike it because you are soooooo close to being done with the quilt. The hand sewing can be a really slow part so it is frustrating.

I machine bind my quilts only because they need finishing, not because I like it!

I love binding a quilt,I find it very peaceful and now that I just read the tut on the Ladder Stitch..I think I am going to love it that much more!!

I really don't like to put on the binding either, but I hate to baste the quilt sandwich even if I use spray and pins. I have to use the floor & my knees & back are getting old.

I am with you, I like the cutting and piecing, but dread the binding.

I like hand binding, it is my favorite part after quilting, I know it has come to a close.
