Binding machine sewn by LQS owner for me!

I have told everyone that I cannot sew binding on. It's my defect. My LQS owner took 6 of my quilts and sewed the binding on them for me. She had her sewing machine up front at her cash register for a couple of days while she was working and did them. What a great friend!! Here's a few pictures of what great work she did. I only have my cell phone, so the pics aren't that great.

If you can't see, this one is has scallops sewn on the binding! It looks so cute and goes with the theme of the fabric.

This one was done on the bias! Can you see the loops she did?

I can't get any of the others to upload to this page. I don't know why, but they fail when I try to upload them. But I guess these two are enough to show you how kind she is to me. I told her to just machine sew them, and she went to all this trouble. She charged me $31 for each quilt and they were large quilts! And that included cutting the fabric into 2 1/2" strips and sewing them together, ironing them in half and sewing them to the back and then sewing them with a fancy stitch onto the front. And she had to use more than 1 spool of thread for a few of these quilts.

She did a really nice job and the fancy stitches are great!

Great job - I always machine my bindings so next time I am going to use one of the fancy stitches.

that is so cool!!! I wish I had someone to put my bindings on. That is my least favorite part of quilting.

Those look great! I love the look of machine sewing binding with decorative stitches! I think they look soo cool! I can't wait to buy a machine that does more then a straight stitch! Maybe for Christmas? haha.

I've started using the fancy stitches to do my binding this way. Covers a lot of my "mistakes".

She did a great job. I prefer to hand sew my bindings to the back. I could never do a great job like that.
