I'm glad I am not alone. Oh wow, that will be an amazing trip, have fun!

I love to do binding, but it took a while to get to this point. I only machine bind and I'll love doing machine binding, now that I have mastered it. I sew to the back, then bring to the front and use a variety of stitches including close top stitch and serpentine wavy shirt. I love using stripes for my bindings, but other times I will use the same that is on the backing.

Because there is so much fabric left over from the backing, i also use that for binding. I love the whole binding process and finish by hand. I find hand sewing, like applique, very soothing. And yes, agree, the binding is a great part of the whole process, and you know it's done! Tfs,hugs, Chel 🌸

Me, three! Binding I look forward to. Very relaxing while I watch a movie or chat with a high school friend. But, sandwiching??? UGH. I will procrastinate for two weeks and once I finally get it done it takes only a couple days to quilt.

I make mostly table toppers and wall hangings. I often use a holiday print for the backing when the front is not holiday fabric. That gives me a project that can be used with either side up. That hard part is finding a binding fabric that goes with both sides of the quilt. I don’t want to see a holiday binding on the non-holiday side. I have found that binding is a good way to use up fabric that has been in my stash a long time. I probably bought it for a project that I decided not to do. I cut my binding at 2 5/8 inches if I will use a 1/4-inch seam to sew it on, and I cut it 2 3/4 inches or more if I want to sew it on with a larger seam allowance. I machine sew it to the front of the quilt and hand sew it down on the back.

CAN you please reaad my comment and question I posted on your last post. I didn't know where to leave my question so I put it there. thanks. I don't find binding too dificult to much, what I dislike to do more than any other quilt chore is sandwitching all 3 layers. I do it on my table and I swear I must burn off 3 pounds by running back and forth from one side together, getting it streight no a little more on the right, nope more on the left and on and on and on I go. Whew it's frustrating and nerve wracking to me. This is a great tio and helpfull also.

I have so many quilts ready to bind, some even have the binding made. But there they sit in the corner of my sewing room. I really need to do them. Once they’re on the quilt and ready for hand stitching it takes me no time at all. I like sitting and hand binding. It’s just getting them trimmed and putting the binding on. 😅
