I got a McCall's pattern (the one in my avatar) that recommended sewing the sleeve into the binding. It doesn't show, but it doesn't hang as nicely as the ones I've done following Bonnie Browning's instructions. It just makes the binding a bit bulkier in that section, but the sleeve is caught in the stitching line when you machine stitch the binding down. I guess it's maybe 1/16" closer to the edge, but I've not had issues with it showing once it's hand tacked down on the sides & bottom of the sleeve.
