I can see doing it for a wall hanging or mini, but we drag quilts around and build forts outside with them. I need something sturdier.<br /><br />And I don't much care if it's perfect, so I don't break into a sweat over it!Jennie @ Porch Swing Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01368860166335076955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-929098616131951264.post-84841458976367666662015-04-06T10:10:58.352-07:002015-04-06T10:10:58.352-07:00I get cold sweats thinking about machine binding t...I get cold sweats thinking about machine binding too. There is a foot for my machine (Bernina) that is made just for this purpose. I've been wanting to get it, but it's pricey!! So until then, I continue to hand bind my quilts. And I let my kids help with the clover clips and they are happy.Becky (My Fabric Obsession)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09264800140397196483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-929098616131951264.post-11506861577210840352015-04-06T08:52:52.482-07:002015-04-06T08:52:52.482-07:00Funny how we are all so different.

Usually I don't catch all the binding on the reverse side and end up hand stitching parts of the binding I missed. I actually enjoy hand stitching bindings. I find it is relaxing and one of my favorite parts of the quilt making process.

Quilting is about relaxing and having fun, if sewing the binding down by machine stresses you out that much, I would recommend never doing it again. LOL I've never hand sewn my binding, I'm too impatient, however if I was to ever enter a quilt into a show, I probably would, but my friends and family don't know the difference.
