Like CanoePam I have arthritis. Therefore I kinda use the MSQC method, but I iron the binding straight out from the back after the first sewing then reiron after turning the binding to the front. Yeah, a bit more but my hands do better this way. I usually use a fancy stitch when I do the last stitching. Looks good enough for any quilt show as it lends a bit of art to the area.
