This is basically what I do. After folding to the back & pressing it down, I lift it & use a small line or dots of glue fold binding down again & press. The glue & pressing keeps the binding in place & I rarely missing the back binding. I also use the edge foot to keep a straight line.

Susie, try purchasing a Binding Foot...Makes all the difference in the world. Makes such a pretty binding, & yes sewn on the front.

I bind quilts using the quilt top, extended . I created a tutorial with pictures.

Well duh! I never even thought about that. Thanks! :)

Thanks, Aashley! I appreciate it :)

I cheated and bought a Martelli Seam Guide & Stitch-N-Ditch Binding Foot from Nancy's Notions years ago. Not always perfect but that is okay with me as long as it is stitched on front of the binding. I sew onto the back first and bring to the front.
