This is an excellent idea. Sometimes I use a large tapestry needle, but a wooden toothpick is probably better. Less chance of your needle hitting something hard. You need to push the binding fabric over the raw edge of quilt and hold it there while you also fold the other side over that and sew it down. Sounds like we need about three or four hands.
