I have always kept everything square, quilted, squared up the borders and then sewed on the binding. The last quilt I did, my Brother sewing machine tried to eat the edge of the quilt. I had to rip out several inches because of creep. I know that I really do need to use the single hole plate, but I have busted several needles because I have forgotten to change the face plate back after sewing. I am going to try the method of marking the quilt using a large T bar, pinning my binding on. Then I will sew and square up. I always use borders so this method might be what works for me.
