Am I Wierd for Liking to do Binding??
#62
I too like doing binding. I like the slip stitching. As of late, I have switched to Mettler thread for all of my hand sewing. Works like a charm! No knotting at all.
It's a feeling of accomplishment when you are done.

I would like to know the "secret" to binding by machine. My daughter finished a quilt, and I "tried" to bind by machine. It didn't turn out well; had to take it off - and that is where we are with it now. The side we sewed on was fine, but missed lots of spaces on back side. She even pinned it! Help.
As always, thank you guys for all your encouragement and help :)

Yes :) :) :) :) For all you quilters who like binding---I wish I were your neighbors---I get sick just thinking about it!!!! I am so glad I just learned a neat way to do machine binding that looks nice. Except to "special" quilts, I am going to try to do a machine binding on each one. I make large quilts so you are correct to assume I have some all quilted but waiting for me to put that binding on! :-( Have a great day!

Go to the blog---http://tlcstitches.blogspot.com and search the tutorials for "faux piped binding tutorial". I use that and it is wonderful. You machine bind from the front and end up with a really nice finish.
