I basically do it just like you would a hem in a skirt, only really tiny stitches. That is of course after the binding is sewn onto the front. I use a few regular pins to hold it in place. the one thing I do that I have not seen mentioned is that I thread a bunch of needles ahead. I don't know why, it just made sense to me. I hate to have to stop and thread a needle. The only problem I have had is that my hands hurt really bad afterward and it does take a long time. But it is what I like to call tv work so the time is not really a problem. But the pain is not fun. I really want to learn how to do a good job putting the binding on completely with my sewing machine.
