I prepare my binding exactly like the quilter in the video though I use straight grain, not bias. Then I sew the binding down with my machine using the SITD foot from the front side. You can do it without the foot by pulling the seam apart ahead of the needle. The result is no stitches showing on the front of the quilt and a line of stitching on the edge of the binding on the back. Turning the binding over so it extends just a little more on the back is critical, but not difficult. If you are having trouble with the corner, pm me with your email and I can send you a picture. I sat with it on my lap when I did my first ones.
