I finally figured out, using a modified Fons & Porter method--with the tails from both ends of the binding (about 10-12" both sides), I lay them so that there is a 1/4" gap between and then press the fabric. This gives you creases that act as the guide to pin the right sides together (you have to scrunch the quilt up a bit) and I pin the heck out of it. Then you do your diagonal seam (just like when you are joining borders, etc on the bias). Don't cut until you check that you did not get any twists in the join--should lie flat--and after that, I trim & press and stitch down the rest of the binding--works every time and you don't get that "bump".
