Hey Barb, I've tried several ways but like the one described. Sew to back, double up binding fabric and hand stitch. It is amazing how quickly the hand stitching goes and how rapidly it improves given this kind of exercise.
Also, binding I find a complete joy because it’s the next best thing to being there (I find myself humming a lot!). Once it’s finished, you get to tag or label and that’s it!
