Does anybody know a really good tutorial (even on youtube) that will help me with my first attempt at machine binding?

TIA

This is completely machine finished binding. A lot of people hand stitch to finish. If you want to do that, the first part of this demo still works.

I do my machine binding like the Leah Day tutorial, but I use a feather stitch, or a straight topstitch instead of the buttonhole stitch that she shows.
Just play with it. Do some practise pieces, esp with the corners, and you'll be fine.
