I'd like to see pictures on some of these procedures.
I am a bit different with my binding. I machine sew on front and hand sew on back. My stitches can be seen, it's the only stitch I know, and too old to change. I pin, and take each on out as I sew close to it.

I don't use anything. I try to make the binding the same fabric/color as the back. I then sew the binding on the back first, bring it up over and just hold it in place while I sew on the top several inches at a time. I have never had a problem and always sew my binding on this way. Years ago I used to sew on the front and bring it over to the back and hand sew it. I don't do it that way anymore. I've had problems with my hands and elbows so I choose to put the bindings all on by machine and save my hands for applique or redwork.
