I could kiss you. No seriously this looks like something that will save me a lot of time. I don't mind hand sewing a binding and like the results but the time it takes bothers me. So I will look for a foot for my machine and try this. Thanks so much for sharing.

Thanks for the link! I know there are some quilts I would prefer to machine bind and this method would be really helpful.

I love hand sewing also. I read an artical not too lond ago, that said it was healthy also, relaxes and can lower blood pressure!!

I love sewing binding but I do want to look into and try this foot for my Bernina. Sometimes I just want something done quick when I need it fast. Thanks for the link.

I too really like putting the binding on my hand as it's the last step and now the quilt is done! It also neatens and finishes the quilt edge and makes it look great. However, your method is great and thank you for sharing it--I think it would work great just from looking at the photos. Would be good for placemats, etc. Thanks for taking the time to post the method.

I don't really care for it, but I want my quilts to look nice so I do it anyway. Gotten pretty fast with the ladder stitch so its not too bad to do. I just can't make it look right on the machine. I figure its just one of those things and deal with it.

[QUOTE=SweatyPie;6888156]To me, the quilt is instantly worth less when someone doesn't care enough to handstitch the binding. I know others may differ, but that's how I feel on the topic.[/QUOT

I have a different opinion. Quilts are about the intent of the creator to complete a vision. I am sure the recipients of my quilts would differ on your opinion as well.

I enjoy hand binding. It's relaxing, I get to be in the same room with my hubby and son, watch TV while being productive, and so far have found it much neater than machine results when I do it.

Normally I like to hand stitch the binding on my quilts. I've never found a method of machine stitching that looks good on both sides when finished. I am going to try this method though. If it turns out as good as pictured that is what I will do on Project Linus quilts. Thanks for the link!

Thank you for this information. I like to sew my binding by hand, I also find it relaxing. But, until I have surgery to correct the arthritis in my thumbs I am severely restricted in hand sewing--- much too painful at this time.
