After the surprisingly good first spiral I quilted yesterday, I decided to tackle another "first".....binding by machine! I normally machine stitch on the front then hand sew on the back. I like hand sewing as it's calming, relaxing and I can focus on what I'm watching on netflix at the moment. However, for this scrappy pillow I decided to just go for it. I've never used binding on a pillow before so this, too, was a first. I won't post a close up as there are some blinding mistakes...and I don't wish bad vision on anyone who loves to sew 
I will just say that for those of you who have mastered machine binding you have my complete RESPECT! How you get the bottom stitches in the ditch on the back is beyond me. There are places in the ditch, just outside the ditch, visibly seen away from the ditch...I'm just glad I had a light background and used white thread. lolol Still, if nothing else, this little pillow of mine will be a constant reminder that I shouldn't take sewing too seriously
