I just finished a quilt and for the first time sewed my binding on by machine instead of hand. I have to say it does not look very good but did it anyway. I sewed it to the back of the quilt and then brought it over and sewed to the front. My question is what is the secret here to make it look nice? Am I sewing on the very edge of the binding. What is the back supposed to look like? My back was beige and the binding was blue. I used a beige thread. Now is the thread on the back supposed to be a nice straight line running beside the binding (on the backing fabric) or is the goal to have it in the binding? Looking at the back, my stitch is going off the binding on the binding, off the binding on the binding..I don't like this. Hope I made sense here
