I've always disliked sewing binding on by machine for this very reason. After some practice, though, I've been getting a little better results by making the binding a bit larger ... I normally use 2 1/4, so I do 2 1/2 for this. Sew the binding on from the front as usual, then press that seam, pressing the binding away form the quilt. Use binding clips to fold the binding around to the back, clipping every 3 or 4 inches. THe binding should go past the seam line about 1/8 inch. Use a bobbin thread that matches the binding. From the front, stitch in the ditch. The back of the binding will have a line of stitching just in from the edge.
