One tip noted in the pattern changed my whole attitude about it. The designer, Annie Unrein, said she doesn't iron her binding in half before stitching it down. She said that she gets a neater look, and sure enough, she was right! After making all of these bags, I've definitely gotten sewing the binding down to perfection, and I'll be doing my quilts this way from now on too! And the time saved... So awesome! I think I'll actually get Brad's quilt done before we leave, and still have time to stitch in the evenings simply by machine sewing it rather than hand stitching it down. Can't beat that!

I sew mine to the back, and use a flange, then stitch just on the flange with the blind stitch foot, so easy to keep it in the right place. Lovely red, and the binding, a great way to finish.
