I always do the back first..and then a decorative stitch on the front...just be careful to stay with that 1/4 inch seam (or whatever size you do, just keep it the same all the way around.) I like (on my Bernina Artista 630) to use stich #4, it gives you a scollop kind of a wavy stitch / make the stitch a bit longer and wider than normal.

The stitches don't always show up in the pictures ... which is fine with me.

I found that doing it like the first video without pins works best for me. That way I can see the stitching that I need to follow. With the glue method you cant see the stitch line to follow.

I do mine this way, cause it took me 4 hours to do a smaller then a twin bed baby quilt for my first 8 years ago. And I said "never" again. I have gotten awards for how perfect my binding is top stitched. Now I can imagine my hands would hurt too.
