I to stitch to the back and fold to the front, then use a decorative stitch that covers and catches both front /back at the same time. Do whatever works for you, but don't be afraid to try something different!! OMG, I couldn't imagine my life without,"Elmer's School Glue". If it hadn't been for the ladies/guys here on the QB, I would have never tried it! BTW, try it on your binding to hold it down, no pins, no puckers, no problems!!!!!!
