What method did you find via the machine...I've tried and always seems to be crooked on the other side or not match up...
This is the method I use:

The binding is stitched to the back of the quilt, folded over to the front, & between being wider than what is on the back, & stitching along the flange part, the stitching is hidden on the front while nice & neat on the back.
The DQ I made for June shows the flange binding. I used STID on the green up against the red. A tip: I use my zipper foot for STID so I can keep the needle guided right where I need it.
How pretty this little quilt is!
