I did a Google search for Eleanor Burns

There are videos you can select and watch. I use her technique but I cut my binding 2.25" strip wide, connect the strips at a 45 degree angle then press wrong side to wrong size. Line up the raw edge on the side of the quilt and sew it on. The video will show you a lot more detail. Any basic quilting book should have instructions on how to make binding and attach it. Good luck. I wouldn't use the ribbon.
