I try not to let binding intimidate me. I live by the creed that if it can't be done by machine, I don't do it, so that applies to my binding as well.
I sew it on the back and turn it to the front.
Use the Elmer's School Glue to baste it in place.
Then topstitch the binding in place. I move the needle over as needed so the binding feeds under the foot easily and the stitching is where I want it.
The last quilt I made, I used one of my "fancy" stitches to topstitch the binding. I kind of like it and may use it again.
