My Siblings Together quilt was basted, quilted and binding on, all by the time the sun came out and made the conservatory too hot to sew.
In that time I also had a visit from the RAC man. He wired on my exhaust pipe, as the car was making horrible noises this morning; fortunately for my sanity and purse it is only a broken bracket.
So just now I thought I would machine stitch down the binding, for the first time ever. I hate it. I got halfway round and decided enough was enough. I only have about 180" to rip out. I really think I should be putting a fancy un-picker on my birthday list what with the amount of time I have spent with my cheapo one this last week or so!
Do you machine stitch down your bindings? Am I the only one who thinks it looks rubbish? Or am I the only one who makes it look less than acceptable? I do love finishing of my quilts by hand, which, it would appear is a bloody good job!
