Helped with the judging of a local county fair quilt show yesterday, and yes I am wiped out today!!!! There were several quilts where the binding was done completely by machine but only one passed the judges' inspection. It's pretty hard to get it on straight. I can never get it straight. Have tried several times to do it by machine buy wind up unsewing and doing it by hand.
I heard somewhere if it's something like placemats, baby quilts, tablerunners (items that will be washed often), sew it by machine so stitching doesn't come out in the wash.
Good luck!!!!
