I use my walking foot through the whole process of the binding. It is the amount of batting, fabric (bulk) and binding under the foot that requires the need for an even feed foot. Why make it hard on your machine? It is also for the benefit of the motor that you use the walking foot.
The walking foot has markings on the metal to assist you in the turning stopping point. But that being said, I also use a seam guide to mark it with a pin when I come close to the edge where you must turn. Just set the sliding bar on the seam guide to the measured seam size and then it is where you need to mark or pin to have a perfect place to stop when you are close to the edge where you must turn. Make sense?
