This is how I do mine. I have arthritis in my hands and hand sewing is almost impossible. I sew the binding to the back, wrap it around to the front, anchor it well, I use those binder clips that look like hair clips, and use a decorative stitch to sew to the front. A lot of quilters wouldn't approve, but it's my quilt and I can do it how I want. I often use a buttonhole stitch.
