My sister uses a decorative stitch on hers but I've not been happy with that either. Maybe I'm just hyper- critical of mine. Think I will make a few placemat sets & do some practicing.
Usually hand stitching isn't too bad but two king sized just a couple weeks apart was difficult.

Oh my gosh those quilts are stunning! I also have trouble machine binding both sides of a quilt. One side never looks right so I do it by hand. I just tried a decorative stitch and I had to rip it out UGH Congratulations on your gorgeous quilts!
