Default Sewing binding with invisible thread?

Working on a project that needs to be done....big girl quilt for grand's 4th birthday....so this isn't going to be a show piece-just a very well loved (I hope!) hugs-from-Grammy-quilt.

I would like to try machine stitching the binding with invisible thread. Naturally, I made this decision after first sewing the binding to the front of the quilt. Drats! When googling for info, I think I needed to sew the binding to the back side of the quilt first. I want to use white thread in the bobbin.....so.....should the invisible thread be on the top of the quilt, or the bottom?

Do I need to do anything differently regarding tension with the invisible thread? I found a full spool of June Taylor inv. thread in my supplies-it's been there many years, I'm sure! I am going to sew a sample seam and see how it does with an iron, but I don't expect an iron will touch this quilt after it is gifted.

Thank you!!!
