Default Binding by machine question...need tips/help

I have some hand issues and cannot hold a needle. I just saw on another thread machine binding that was great.
I was paying to have binding done but recently tried a couple of methods on baby quilts and I am not crazy w/ the results. I know it can be done better.
1. I sewed the binding on the front and wrapped to the back 2. I sewed the binding on the back and wrapped to the front.
The second step is where I did not like the result and need tips.
I sewed "in the ditch" from the front, but there was a "phlange" left on the back binding.
I sewed a decorative stitch on the front of the binding and that phlange (the free edge) was then on the front, but was better than the bigger one on the back
Could you share the best way to get a look that is closer to a binding that is stitched by hand?
Many thanks
