Question My Machine Binding done this way is never full. Any tips ?

I am doing Machine Binding and have the same issue every time. My binding is not full.

I am sewing 2.5" binding to the front of the quilt using a 1/4" seam allowance. I turn the binding to the back of the quilt and bring the edge of the binding just over the seam line. (visible from sewing the binding to the front).
I use a lot of pins to keep the binding in place. Now I Stitch in the ditch on the front of the quilt along the binding in order to catch the Back of the binding edge.

I can't seem to get a full binding when I machine bind with this method. Any tips or advice Please and thank you!
