Oops Raptureready and I are on opposite sides when it comes to tugging on the binding. Maybe tugging on the binding is the wrong word here. I find when I stitch a circular item like a small round that if I just pull a bit on the binding as I sew it lays better for me.
You're right, a gentle tension---but just don't pull tightly, as I learned the hard way.
