I used to bind all of my quilts by machine, but I switched to hand sewing it down because it never looked very good. I would love a way that looked great and was quick to finish off a quilt!<br /><br />Thank you for posting the link about the retreat! I may be going as a birthday present from my husband!

Stitching it by hand is kind of a pain but looks nice (I'm self taught and a complete noobie so I know I have room to learn and grow) and machine binding seems to scary to me. I'm interested to see the suggestion for machine binding.
