I use a combination of these three videos. You could use any one of these but since I had to teach myself as well (like you), I felt like I gained the most knowledge by watching all three.

first steps - I use this link to find out how to cut the binding and how to sew the binding strips together to form a continuous binding strip

I use this link for machine sewing the binding to both the front and the back ( she has a second video to this as well)

last steps - I use this last link (only the end portion) to learn how join the two pieces at the end to create a smooth join.
I just did my first binding last week and found it so easy after watching these! Hope it helps :)
