YES I press the attached binding away from the qiilt. It helps me make better corners.
I also press the binding away from the body of the quilt - but I do not press to the "fold line" of the binding. The battings I used were Warm and Natural. I think it's easier to use an iron than to finger press all the way around the perimeter.
