Hand Stitches

This weekend I was talking about binding with a friend and her mother. I always bind by machine. First, I align the raw edges of the quilt from the back with the raw edges of the binding and stitch by machine. Then, I take the folded edge of the binding to the front of the quilt and top stitch all the way around. After explaining this, I said, "I don't sew anything by hand, except perineums."
