I sew binding to the back and pull to the front. For charity quilts that have no batting because fleece is being used on the back, to secure I use the Bernina blind hem foot with the needle position all the way to the right. The binding edge is secured with a neat straight stitch. I don't have to pin, glue, baste or wonderclip. However, I would not use this foot when using batting and a separate backing - too much shifting.
