Yes QuiltE,you made sense. I don’t use any clips at all when using the ladder stitch. The binding keeps folding along as I go. Hopefully the picture shows how you don’t need clips. I hated them as the thread was always catching in them.
From your photo of the unstitched part, you can see that the fold does not lie quite flat. But once you stitch it down, it looks perfect. I noticed as I was sewing a pressed binding that I was essentially finger pressing the fold to lie flat as I stitched it down.
