Binding; machine or hand?
#122
I'm yet another quilter who machine sews the binding down on the front, then hand sews it onto the back. I use a blind stitch to sew it with so it doesn't show at all. As my hands get more arthritic, my magical go-to gimmick is my daughter!!!! She is good at hand sewing, much better than I am!!! Thank you gerswin, my dd!!!!!

I wish I knew how to do it all by machine. I do French binding, machine sewn on the front, hand stitched on the back. I also wish I knew how to miter corners. No matter how many times I've seen it done it just doesn't sink in.

I always sew mine on the front by machine and then hand sew the binding on the back. I'm just too persnickity to not do it that way. If the machine stitching on the back wasn't exact, it would drive me crazy! Luckily my hands still work well enough to hand sew but some day that won't be the case and I'll have to use the machine.
