The only thing I can add is advice I was given by a master quilter: once the binding is attached to one side of the quilt, press it away from the quilt body. This will make hand sewing it to the other side much easier since the binding will "roll" to the side you are sewing it to. I tried it on my current binding project and it has made a major difference in the ease of sewing. No fighting with the binding to turn it over.
