I also dislike sandwiching and trying to get everything to come out flat. It's not only boring, it's frustrating as all for me.
I enjoy sewing on bindings though, as that tells me that I've finally finished something.
I love to hand quilt but it seems to take forever. I've tried numerous times to machine quilt, and other than 'stitch in the ditch' I'm not too hot at it. My stippling resembles zig zags of lightning. No foolin'. Maybe I've discovered a new style of machine quilting.!!!
