I've tried machine binding and never happy with the results. Didn't like the results since I was never able to hide the stitching when I flipped it over. Now I just sew the binding on the front and flip to the back. Just gives a small pop of color on the edge of the quilt. If I want a larger "pop of color" I sew on the back and flip to the front. I like hand sewing the binding down. Last part of the construction process until it gets tossed into the washer/drier and then out the door.
Sew the binding down any way you want. As Karen Brown says, "just get it done!"
