If you use a good matching thread, you can not see your stitch line on the front at all since the binding kinda rolls back over it. I always take my time and inspect the back, I usually only have to catch one or two very small places I missed.....works for me
This is a very good explanation of how stitch the binding on the front and then roll it to the back; pin, clip or glue and then stitch in the ditch on the front. One more step would enhance your experience. When the binding has been sewn onto the front, press the binding open well, off the edge of the quilt. This makes sure you can see the "ditch" to sew into it. If you don't finish this process in one sitting, press again before you start again. After the binding relaxes, it seems to roll back and cover the stitching. Hope this helps.
