OK -- here's my plan. If your borders allow it, cut your bindind a bit larger than normal. Say 3 to 3.5 inches. Don't bother to iron. It's too much work. Sew the binding to the back with a .25 inch seam. Pull it to the front and Elmer's glue it down. Sew it to the front with the machine using invisible thread. Because the front binding is wider than the back the line of stitching on the back ends up looking like another quilting line.
