Not sure how it would work without pressing it in half.

I cut a 2" binding and use a scant 1/4" seam when sewing the binding. I do the same as Mike ... press it to the outside and then I press one more time on the fold that goes over the edge from the back side. I use 4 binding clips as I handstitch and keep moving them. I have no problem with this. The fold is just past the stitching line when I handstitch and the edge is full.
