Ok another ???.. Do you all always hand sew your bindings? I have stitched many of mine as they seem to hold together better. Of course the hand-stitched looks so much nicer. In most of mags I see lately, they're just recommending the hand-stitching? Is this what you all do?

If it's a quilt for my kids, I generally use backing fabric and pull over to top and stitch to top as binding (easy-peasy and fairly bullet proof)... Any thoughts?

Hi Leigh, I use machine finish binding if the quilt is for charity or if it is for hard use such as kids! Otherwise I hand stitch to the backside, it looks so much better. :-D

I machine stitch on the front and turn over to the back and hand sew that part.

For utility quilts I machine sew the binding front and back. For my nicer quilts I finish the binding by hand sewing.

i machine stitch all of mine using some of the fancy stitches

I also sew it on the machine first and then turn it and hand sew on the back.

Machine sew the front but hand sew the backs on all my quilting projects.

Same here!

Me too, machine sew on front turn to back and hand sew all my projects.

Mine are all machine sewed, front and back :D:D:D
