I do this all the time for small quilts, place-mats, doll quilts. I find it gives me a nice flat binding when I use this method. Quilts in use get a lot of wear on the edge of the binding and for durability I use a double fold binding. After quilting I will trim away the batting and then cut the backing one inch from the edge. I fold it in a half inch and fold the remainder over the edge of the quilt. I machine stitch it down not being a big fan of hand stitching any bindings.
