Thank you for the information. I also do not like to sew by hand but I totally enjoy sewing my bindings on. They look great and after putting so much time in to the piecing I can enjoy my quilt one last time. It also gives me time to snip loose or stray threads and just give the total quilt a once over. I think it is the most relaxing time of the entire process and I have grown to look forward to it, rather than dreading it. Now to find those gold needles, I'm having a harder time threading the needles now.
