I don't travel in the fold but travel in the sandwich and come out in the fold. Then I stitch down just underneath where I came out and travel underneath to the next spot. Works like a charm and isn't hard at all.

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 do a fair job of binding by hand but I have a problem when I travel to the next stitch, you are supposed to travel in the fold. I just can't seem to get the needle in the fold. When I am ready to bring the needle up for the next stitch, I peek under and I see where the needle just traveled on the backing, not within the fold. I'm wondering if my bindings are not as secure that way? Any suggestions as to how to stay in the fold?

Yep, me too.

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.
