I actually took a "binding" class. We were shown all kinds of techniques with all kinds of helpful do-dads to make it happen. This is the technique I took away from the class that was the easiest.
I did not watch the whole video but I do not use any tape (what was that for), just press the 45 degree angle and trim, when you get to the end, do the same thing, trim to a reasonable length (you don't need inches) and tuck her in!!
