I attach it to the front pull to the back. I use to make a little larger binding to catch the whole stitch in the binding, but lately the stitching has been just catching enough binding to secure it with out the larger binding. I still use it if the back is busy and I want them to see the stitch's. This does take a little longer but it sure finish's nicely. I always stitch on the front just under the binding, this is my guide.
