It sounds like it takes a lot of time, but it goes pretty quickly. I use steam and usually don't have to pin. Then I stitch in the ditch from the front, stitching in the seam where the binding was attached. If you go to this post of some throws I made, there are some close ups of the bindings.

There is a tiny 'flange' on the back, which you may find objectionable. Sometimes I use a blanket stitch on the front. This holds it down. I did this on the purple one. Does this info help?
