My bindings are similar to Doggramma's with the exception of a couple of things. One is that I use a straight stitch 1/8" in from the edge of the top for the final stitching. Two is that I do just cover the 1/4" stitching on the front with the binding (about 1/8" over), but I add the step that I make sure the back seam is covered with the extra fabric. In other words, I roll all the extra binding fabric to the back so that the binding is full and flat on the front.
I, then use my small Clover Clips to make sure the stitching will be 1/8" in from the fold on the back and the front. My 1/4" foot is one of those cheap ones from Wal Mart and it has the 1/8" leading edge. I use that 1/8" edge to line up on the edge of the top fold and verify with my Clover clips that I am on the binding both front and back with my predicted needle placement and usually love the results. The Clover Clips are what makes this work for me.
