I'm in the process of binding one right now...I sew the folded binding strip to the front, then flip it over to the back and hand sew it down. I don't mind doing it at all...I do it in front of the tube at night. Good luck...keep practicing and yours will look great in no time!
Here's how it looks on the front, you can see where part of it isn't flipped over and sewn yet

Here is how it looks just sewn on the front prior to flipping over
