BINDING, Do you turn from the back to the front or front to back?

I ALMOST ALWAYS sew onto the front, turn to the back and hand stitch it down. I like how the seams disappear...after all that work on the top I don't want even 1 seam showing!!
It's not that much work...and the overall look it worth it.

If finishing by hand, I machine sew it to the front and hand stitch to the back. If machine sewing (never really happy with that, some quilts just gotta get done) I stitch to the back and turn to the front.

I prefer back to the front. Decorative finished can be put on the top whilst finishing.(I find hand stitching to the back boring as well as more difficult now that I have two numb fingers).Sometimes the choices are the simplest path.
