I also used to sew it to the back by hand but now it's much faster if I sew it 1st to the back, then turn it over to the front. I glue mine to the back side all the way around only stopping to stitch the 2 ends together, then finishing the gluing and pressing down. I have a little Brother machine I put onto my cutting table so the weight of the quilt is not hanging on the floor. I use my 1/4" foot with a flange for the 1st stitching. Press it to the front and use those colorful clips all the way around the quilt. Then I change over to my edge foot with a center flange, move my needle to the right just enough so I catch the edge by maybe 1/16 or 1/18 from the folded edge. I make sure the corners have been folded over so the fold is on the opposite side that it is on the back side so it keeps it from getting too thick on the corners. I've been doing it this way for the past couple years. I stock up on Elmer's Glue when they put the school supplies on sale in the Fall. Also when gluing, I use a very thin line of glue as close to the edge as possible so my needle doesn't get gummed up.
