The best advice I ever got on this board was NOT TO PRESS BINDING STRIPS. It's really easier to make the binding, press the joins, and then just fold as you sew. I never really had a problem ironing the binding, but I love dropping that step in the binding process. After the binding is sewn down on one side of the quilt, I press it and turn it to the other side. Works beautifully.
