I have tried the machine method a couple of times but I was never happy with it. I enjoy stitching down my bindings to the back of my quilts, though, so that's okay. I like the options you show in this post - options are always good and they give us chances to grow our skills!Ericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15584299932986251864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222010192421604268.post-59028633157288897062014-01-29T20:36:37.455-05:002014-01-29T20:36:37.455-05:00Very Good job on the binding tutorial.

I get that by doing the several stitch zigzag (stretch stitch zig zag I think is what it is called). It crinkles up so nice and gives extra hold to the edges that might get washed in a hospital many many times. However, for some of my own quilts I don't seem to have patience to try to machine bind straight so I hand sew. I will try one of these methods this year and see if I can do it. Thanks again.

I really like the matched binding, something to work my way towards. Maybe when I buy a new machine, this one doesn't handle binding very well as it is. :PRachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10275798275018244333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6222010192421604268.post-57917972211508017032014-01-29T06:14:17.806-05:002014-01-29T06:14:17.806-05:00Lorna, this is great!

Another tutorial that I found works well when the front and back of the quilt just will not look good with the same binding is the reversible binding technique by Sharon Pederson. Here are the links to her two part video http://www.thequiltshow.com/os/blog.php/blog_id/3901 and part two http://www.thequiltshow.com/os/blog.php/blog_id/3902/archive_date/201107.
