There are at least three kinds of quilts to me. They each have a different type binding treatment. The ones that will be drug around and abused, the middle type that it doesn't matter if it is machine sewn on both sides, and the this is my masterpiece or for show quilts that require hand sewing to the back. If you think about it, some quilts aren't as critical to have everything perfect as others. Now that isn't to say it is sloppy work ever. But, I value my time while sewing and don't do as much hand sewing on the binding as I used to. Whichever one you use, make SURE it is squared up before starting the binding. It will make for a lovely finish and make your life easier while binding.
There is a lady who shows how to perfectly sew on binding by machine on U Tube. You could go and check her video out.
