Help With Binding, PLEASE!

Okay...time for my confession.
When I first made quilts, self-taught, I didn't know you could use boarders first... then make your own binding.
I just used wide bias tape. Guess I cheated. :(
This board makes learning fun!!!! :)

Ok, the first picture I accidentally posted is from the "Angleplay" class I took with Margaret Miller. I was going to use just straight strips for my sister's quilt, but instead came home after the class and made this border intead.

I always press from the back, pressing the seam towards the binding. But I don't press the binding in half b4 hand sewing to the back, it just rolls over naturally. I don't think I would like a crease.

I use the snap clips for hair (the ones girls use to keep the fly-a-ways up with they wear a ponytail) - usually 3 of them, and just keep moving them along the binding as I go.
Never tried ironing it first. Do make sure that your binding is "full" - quilt judges really harp on bindings that are baggy and empty!
Have fun stitching those tiny stitches!
