This is how I do it. You have to machine sew on the bindings for Quilts For Kids quilts. I just pin very close together, go slow and I use my walking foot. They aren't EXACTLY perfect, but close enough for me. I haven't been disappointed yet. Good luck.

I tacked the mitered corners in place, then sewed in the ditch on the front. I went pretty slow, but it turned out pretty good. By pinning close together, my binding didn't fold or creep like the first one I tried.
