I sew the back by hand. I have tried to do it by machine and it always looks sucky. Some of the gals have really nice machine sewn bindings using embroidery stitches, so I will have to revisit this when I get my Bernina.
BTW, I watched the E burns binding method on YouTube. I really like that added feature she puts in - pretty much guarantees a perfect miter - mine have been iffy at best.
