While I don't regret it, it was over 5 hours of hand sewing, and I could have put those to better use. I don't have that kind of chair time anymore. Another perk is the stability of the binding. It holds up better to use and repeated washing, and also if a child is one to love and 'pick' at the quilt. I've watched little ones pick at a thread until they loosen it! <br /><br />My biggest reason: I tend not to have the level of patience by the time I get to binding. There is a thrill to realize I'm only a few hours to another finish, even with a larger piece. I love the Ta Dah! moments.<br /><br />JulieJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02834496271292973632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042289181469558257.post-1124967315511740992015-05-16T22:46:30.460-04:002015-05-16T22:46:30.460-04:00Very pretty!

I sew the binding on the front, iron and glue to the back, and sew in the ditch on the front with monofilament. The youtube video Binding the Angel taught it to me, I taught it to my guild and am so happy with my bindings now.

I am only now getting my machine binding stitching to where I would consider doing it on a "good" quilt.
