This is what I do too. I use a "stitch in the ditch foot" for the top stitching and move my needle a few spaces to the right. That way my stitching is consistently catching the edge. I pin the entire binding down first and use a stiletto to hold the edge over to the foot, when I remove the pin. As you can see from the photo, I over stitch the corners a bit. It just makes me feel like the corners are more secure. On the front side it is almost invisible. I do ALL my bindings like this unless it is for a show. It is especially durable for quilts that are going to get lots of abuse, like kid quilts. Good luck![ATTACH=CONFIG]429262[/ATTACH]
