A long time friend of mine reminds us with these words, "we don't need new teaching, we need reminders". Reminders of the good and why we do it.

Binding by machine with the Dual Feed feature
I much prefer attaching bindings by machine for many of my quilts. Competition quilts I do by hand (however if I thought I could do it by machine all bets would be off.)
