There is a very good free video on how to bind on www.sharonschamber.com
Look for the section that says 'Binding the Angel' She is very precise, and uses a lot of Elmer's School Glue instead of pins. The glue is actually a thick starch, so isn't permanent, but holds while you get the stitching done, then will wash out later. Under the beginniers section, she also has an excellent set of videos on how to put together a quilt, then add borders and mitre the cornes, again free.
