I still hand sew my bindings on my quilts. I use bias binding if I have a rounded corner. I use Jenny Doan's method as shown in a YouTube Video titled The Ultimate Quilt Binding Tutorial from Missouri Star Quilt Company, I find it works extremely well and, I do press my binding in half. I have had very few problems with binding. For some reason, this method works the best for me. I think you have to do what works the best for you.
