    I do more like a ladder stitch. I don't press the fold in my binding before. I find it easier to travel when the fold is not sharply creased. The same when I do a blind stitch in just catching a few threads.
    The Connecting Threads tutorial mentioned earlier has a good illustration of the two types of stitches.

I'm wondering if my bindings are not as secure that way? Any suggestions as to how to stay in the fold?
    I also travel in the sandwich. Have had no problems doing it this way.

    There are lots of tutorials on utube that might be helpful. Or you can look at Jenny Doans tutorials from MSQC.

    I travel in the fold. It is easier if you do not press the binding before attaching it. Then the fold is easier to get into and folds over nicer without that press in it. Just my way. Can't see the stitches at all.
