I basically do it the same way except I liked to pin my binding all around the quilt before I took it to the machine. Now I use Elmer's Glue and the iron, go all around the quilt till I get to the 2 ends, glue them together, take it the the machine to stitch the ends down, then back to the iron to glue the rest down before taking it to the machine to stitch it down all around. I hate getting stuck by the pins so this is the reason for using Elmer's GLue. I tried doing it exactly like Jenny but I found I had troubles with either the quilt stretching or the binding stretching on me as I went around. Using the glue made it easier for me. I also hand stitch it to the back while I watch TV at night. Keeps me from munching.
