I sew my binding all by machine. I can't do much hand sewing due to carpal tunnel syndrome. I sew the binding to the back first and then turn it over to the front and stitch it down about 1/8" from the folded edge. Here's a short video of me sewing binding on a baby quilt with my 1917 White Rotary treadle.
