I really like Charismah's tutorial on machine stitched binding. You sew to the back and fold to the front. It is under...Quick Machine Binding with Flange. Some people sew to the back and do a fancy machine stitch on the front. Others sew the binding to the front and use Elmers washable glue to secure the binding to the back and then stitch from the front. There are also many tutorials on the web. Keep looking around and I'm sure there will be a binding technique that's just right for you.
