I tried this, sewing the back then sewing to the front using a decorative stitch and I didn't like where the dec stitch ended up on the back.
However, if I sew it on the back, then fold binding to the back and press, pin like crazy and stitch again from the front (SID), then the straight stitch doesn't show too much on the back. There are usually a few small spots here and there that I touch up by hand but go slowly and it works. When I speed up, I goof it up.
Another method, my favorite is to use the backing as the binding. Roll it to the front and stitch, then you don't have to worry about the stitching on the back, one neat row if you stitched straight on the front.
