Default Another binding discussion

This week I bound 8 bed runners. I wanted to try Donna Jordan’s method that she demos on YouTube. It worked pretty well for me! I sewed onto the front, wrapped around, then stitched in the ditch on the front and hoped it caught the binding on the back. And it did 99% of the time. I think I may be switching to this method. The only thing I struggled with was the binding coming out different widths on different parts of the quilt. I think part of it was the huge amount of bulk in my quilts (stabilized knit shirts with flannel back). Would you consider this a success? I hope you can see how the binding on the back gets wider and narrower, and the stitching line seems to be closer to the edge and then further away. Any advice for this (that doesn’t involve hand stitching)?
