I have a stitch on my machine that looks like a blanket stitch; I use that one for binding a lot and let the "leg" part of the stitch overlap the edge of the binding and go onto the quilt. I think it looks nice and helps hide if you get off a little bit because it's not supposed to be in the ditch - I overlap the stitches the same way on the binding on the back of the quilt (which was already attached before I flipped it over).
