I do it just like this. I used to pin and then used glue, but the last two I just folded the binding to the back and stitched from the front, sewing about 5 inches at a time before peeking under to put the next section in place. On one, I never missed a stitch, on the other I missed about an inch. I was using my featherweight, and that presser foot helped a lot to keep the seam at the right spot.
I do pull my binding a little as it is being sewn on. Just a little tug to make it taut, hold that down with my fingers, and through the machine it goes. A little tightness is better than wavy.
