On a utility quilt, I stitch the binding to the back using a modified Sharon Schamber's method (no glue). I pull the binding to the front and secure a section using the metal hair clips. Then I pick a decorative stitch like a blanket stitch or a arched satin stitch and simply stitch it down from the front. I generally use a thread color to show and the fancy stitch adds a layer of decoration. I sew the miters down by hand.
On more elegant quilts, I sew the binding down by hand on the back.
