I cannot imagine having that many quilts in line to bind.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11133060208533101453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593114644785141187.post-51564996901618540192012-05-11T07:29:45.496-06:002012-05-11T07:29:45.496-06:00I feel the same way about bindings... Sometimes I ...I feel the same way about bindings... Sometimes I machine stitch (for others) and sometimes I hand stitch (for me). I'm a purest at heart and would hand sew them all if it wasn't for the time factor.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03862400065513444859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593114644785141187.post-3939730915400072572012-05-11T06:45:39.114-06:002012-05-11T06:45:39.114-06:00I do love a good hand bound quilt, but I think for...I do love a good hand bound quilt, but I think for kids quilts that are going to take a lot of washing or beating I think that it does make a little sence!

I avoid the seam on the front by attaching the binding like I would for hand, pinning it to the back and stitching in the ditch from the front. I learned this method from Rita of Red Pepper Quilts. The back isn't as beautiful as hand binding, but I've gotten better as keeping it somewhat even.Esch House Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07095448847070091632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7593114644785141187.post-39125490018970904682012-05-10T12:40:45.894-06:002012-05-10T12:40:45.894-06:00i got your book over the weekend and have so enjoy...i got your book over the weekend and have so enjoyed reading is slowly!!! it is just perfect. i love it!
