My neighbor showed me how to hand sew the binding to my quilt - and I am really enjoying it. I have always dreaded hand sewing because I am not good at it - but after one easy lesson I think I am really enjoying it. Yah....

congratulations, have fun!
|
It is fun, isn't it. I really enjoy that part of the process myself.
|
Doing the binding is my favorite part of the quilting process. The hand sewing is relaxing and finishing the binding means the quilt is finshed!
|
Don't forget to put a label on the quilt. I like to do it at the same time I am putting the binding on, so when I am done, I am really done!
|
Yeah for another victory!
|
Good for you.
I always hand sew my bindings on and I hate sewing on labels. I would be happy to leave them off. If I give someone a quilt I expect them to remember who gave it to them. I don't make heirloom quilts. |
I think they always look better by hand - I too do not hand sew well but love to do the bindings! That is my goal this year - I have even been practicing hand quilting. I am getting better at it!! lol

I agree with eparys. I like hand stitched binding better. I like doing it and findit very relaxing - unless I am in a hurry to finish ;)
|
I am always amazed at how much easier a chore gets when someone shows me the right way to do it. Thank the good Lord for helpers. :lol:
