I wish I lived close to you. I would exchange my binding, for something you don't like to do. LOL

I have one with prairie points that really has to be completed one of these days. Is that considered binding?

I never use pins anymore to do binding, I use the small snap-clip for hair I get at the dollar store, got tired of getting stuc by the pins, works great and lots cheaper than the ones you get at Joann's or other fabric stores.

Me too! I have 11 different ways to accomplish the last and almost the most important part of a quilt! The binding is the frame to showcase your art!
I too use 2-3 hair clips, I hate pins

None! By the time I get to the binding I am so excited to be almost done that putting on binding is a breeze. It also means that I can start on my next project :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I make my bindings all by machine. No problems with binding.

Kaye Wood has an excellent way to sew binding on and it always comes out right.

My problem has always been the corners, getting them mitered to my satisfaction, front and back. Now I just round them off and have no trouble at all!
