I know I'm the odd man (woman) out, but I stretch my binding when attaching it. In the first picture you can even see a little wrinkle in the left binding.
I lay the quilt out to sew the next few inches, lay the binding on where it should be, give the binding a little tug and hold that on the quilt with my fingers while I sew that section. If the binding is length of fabric, you can tug quite a bit; if it is width of fabric, tug just a little.
I've never heard of anyone else doing that, but better to have the binding just a little tight than too loose.
