I only machine sew bindings on lap or crib but I use the edge walking foot (or SITD food) on my Bernina...it has the center guide that hugs right up against the binding.

Thank you, everyone. I knew you would help me :)

I put my binding on by machine. I always use a walking foot, sew the binding on the back first (sew line is 1/3 of the binding), then pull binding up and iron up, and then pull the binding over to the front and sew on the edge of the binding. While attaching, pull the binding over to cover the sewen line (a little beyond the line because when you release the fabric it will slide back anyway). I never have any problems, I don't even pin or clip. As a hint, use the same color binding as the back, then if the back is not exactly even, the threads just seem to disappear and the front looks perfect. Good luck!

I do not use bias binding and I leave the tiniest of space between the edge of the quilt and the fold in the binding. I often machine sew my binding. I attach to the back, turn to the front and use a decorative stitch to attach the front. Sometimes with a variegated thread or even a complete contrast thread. I think it gives a bit more of a decorative look (and it hides any little slips!!).

I've gotten wavy binding several times and finally discovered my pressure foot was too "heavy". I have a button that I can push down on to lighten the pressure and that solved the problem.
