I use 2 1/2 inch strips. Sew to the front with a walking foot using 1/4 in seam. Cut off the batting and backing.
Iron it open from the front so the seam is showing. I also iron the 1/4 in edge so it lays flat.
Fold the binding to the back and use Fons and Porter glue stick to hold it on the back over the seam
then use the stitch in the ditch foot on the front.
Took me along time and many methods to find this one worked the best for me.
By the way when you first sew on the binding to the front stitch to 1/4 inch from the corner and use your needle down and turn the quilt and back stitch off the edge. Dont cut your thread just pull your quilt out far enough to fold the binding up. Then continue to sew the binding on. Or you can stitch at an angle toward the point. Either way works good.
