YES, please. I now sew all bindings on by machine and they aren't as perfect as I like. Yours looks great.

I have read and watched videos and even taken a class, but I could never get the binding to look like I wanted. I think I have finally nailed down all the details, and this is the first quilt I practiced on. It took forever to take the original binding off last night, and today I put the new one on. Kim wants me to document everything I did, so I may do a tutorial for it. I know I'm not the only one who is too impatient to hand stitch a binding on but has been unhappy with all-machine sewn bindings.

If anyone is interested in a tutorial, please let me know.

Thanks,

Darren

I like it and would love a tutorial if possible. I am sure there are lots of others who would like to see the tutorial as well.

I bind by machine as well....would take me days to hand sew and to be honest, not even sure they looked all that great or were really sturdy.

Looks great! I sat out in the sunshine yesterday and hand stitched binding. I've done by machine before too though.

Yes please! Your binding looks perfect. I have terrible arthritis in my hands and wrist, so it takes me forever to hand stitch a binding.

Hi Darren, would love instructions on how you did such an amazing binding. I have 3 quilts ready to bind and would love them to look as professional as yours.
