I have to say, that is the best machine applied binding I have seen! All nice and straight on both front and back plus the stitching is right down the edge. Very nice!!

I love grey Moda Grunge. Your quilt is a perfect quilt for the baby.

Thank you! I serge the edges of my quilt sandwich to have a nice firm edge. Then I apply my binding from the front, press carefully away from the quilt from the front, fold over, and then sew from the front. I never was successful using pins or clips to hold the binding evenly, so I just use my fingers to turn it to the back a few inches at a time. I do use a double sided water soluble tape to hold the miters in place on the back.
