Love doing binding. It's soothing, and cheaper than therapy.

I love to do binding also. I listen to the Bible on cd's while I'm binding. It's very relaxing and I'm getting through the Bible! :)

I enjoy doing the batting. Sandwiching not so much.

I enjoy hand sewing on the binding. Can sit in my comfortable chair in the living room - spend a little time with the family. Have thought of doing a small hand quilting project just for that reason.

Sewing on the binding is the part of making a quilt that I most enjoy. Maybe it is the fact that the quilt is nearing completion that makes that step so exciting for me. Actually, I think it is that I so enjoy doing the hand sewing. I can sit in my recliner, watch TV and sew away. Incidentally, cutting, seaming, and pressing the binding fabric is the first thing I do when starting a quilt.

Guess I'm wierd too. I like hand-sewing the binding to the back. I sit and watch tv and before I know it, it's done. I'm with dmyers, I took a class and I reference the the instruction sheet every time I need to join the ends. Perfect joins every time, no muss no fuss, no drama, no trauma.

Pds - thank you so much for the link to the binding tutorial - it is wonderful! I think even I can make a beautiful, professional looking binding, using this site!

As always, you guys always come through for me!

while not a huge FAN of doing the binding, I do not care for the look of the machine binding, and prefer hand work instead. I also prefer to pay a lady who LOVES this process!
