I used Susie's magic binding for all 500+" of it, or I would never have met my deadline. I like the look of Magic Binding (link above) and it is a fast finish. Deadlines make for different techniques. Again, welcome to Scrap Squad - it is soooooo fun.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12449351458689631173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1672861911443408121.post-70796291936412001272014-01-15T19:37:46.047-08:002014-01-15T19:37:46.047-08:00Nadia, you will have such fun with Scrap Squad!

I HATE hand sewing binding, so I was thrilled to learn this technique!Aunt Martihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07177403277574517748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1672861911443408121.post-57441850062660903252014-01-15T19:09:38.635-08:002014-01-15T19:09:38.635-08:00Ohhhh! another wonderful link to a technique!

A shop owner showed me this method and I have never looked back. Recently I've been teaching it and I call it "Mock Hand Binding by Machine" because it really looks terrific. I blogged about it here: http://www.quiltmaker.com/blogs/quiltypleasures/2013/10/mock-hand-quilt-binding-by-machine/Diane Harris, Stash Bandithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06633133816070117011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1672861911443408121.post-20020202903523707392014-01-15T17:47:42.191-08:002014-01-15T17:47:42.191-08:00I like the look of Susie's Magic Binding, but,...I like the look of Susie's Magic Binding, but, like you, I prefer to hand-sew the binding on the backs of my quilt.

I like the look of Susie's Magic Binding, though, so I did something a little different that gives me the same look, but still allows me to hand-stitch on the back.
