Attach to the front by machine, and then hand sew to the back. There is something wonderful about sitting with the quilt spread out over my legs and hand stitching the binding. If I'm giving the quilt away, that's the last time I get to touch and feel it!!

I love to hand stitch the binding. It is relaxing and just fun. However, I have not stitched the binding on a quilt for a long time. My mom, now 89, loves to stitch the binding as much as I do, and can hardly wait to receive the two quilts that are all ready to go when I visit her this Easter weekend. Mom has trouble threading the needles now, so I thread as many needles as she will need (usually extras), and thread them through a piece of fabric. When she needs another length of thread all she needs to do is pull it out, knot it and away she goes. Maybe she can't thread the needle, but her stitches are still just perfect. Can't wait to see her smile when she gets her latest project. She'll have them both done in no time and will be awaiting more. As long as she wants to do it, it's good with me.
