Instead of putting the pins sticking out, I put the pins sideways going along the binding edge. I also just pin the side I am working on. There are many ways to join the ends together. Some people sew straight across, some do the 45º join, some fold back the 1/4 in seam allowance and hand stitch it overlaying the other end. There are many good tutorials on the web.

I sew binding to front only use 2-3 pins when I joint the ends, fold over to back side, hand stich binding down, only use 1-2 pins as I get to the corned to help keep it under control as I sew in miter and get around corner

I glue it too. This way I know it is as straight as I can get it (mine is never perfectly straight for some reason ) and then I don't have to keep checking and folding. Before that I used hair clips and that was OK for me too, but I really like gluing now, I take my time gluing and pressing the binding straight and then stitching it down is a breeze.

I must be the only one who still pins......never had a problem getting stuck. Maybe i still do it because I raley get a chance to sit and finish the binding all in one sitting.... or I'm too chicken to go pin-less....
