This is how I do it also, don't like the look of machine sewed binding, decorative stitch or not...and if you ever want to enter a quit in a show that's the way it has to be...hand sewed after the binding was first machine sewed on to the back. I also hate to hand sew and the arthritis in my hands hate me to do it, but it's part of quilting.
