Yes, Krafty14 (and others), I am using a Youtube tutorial, stitch in the ditch (on the front) method to complete the binding. I saw both The Missouri Star Quilt Company's video, and Aunt Marti's 52 Quilts in 52 Days, both are similar. I figured out just after posting my question that what many of you have suggested is what I need to do. I will cut about 1/2" of batting and position it in the binding before I sew it onto the front. If it weren't for that pretty flange that I took extra time to create, I may have just folded the binding over itself and then sewn on, but I didn't want to lose that. I have another quilt I'm finishing as well, and I'm hand binding that one. I will post both when done. Thank you, Ladies!
