[email protected]. She has a great tutorial on binding totally by machine. I make my binding 2-1/2 in. (because I like to use the moda basic strips) fold it in half and press. I make enough to go around the quilt with 10-15 in. left over. Sew your binding to the back of your quilt with a 1/4" seam (I use about 3/8"). Then from the front side do a small blanket stitch with matching thread following the sewing line that you have made already. It turns out pretty good and if it is a little off in the back I don't find it noticable. I use this method for lap quilts and service quilts.
