Bernina and Viking both have a 9mm Flat Felled foot which makes it very easy to machine sew your bindings down. There is a great You Tube video (do not have link handy) from Bernina that shows in great detail hbow to accomplish this.
Additional tutorials would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!

Binding Tutorial
Yes, please post a tutorial. Your binding is beautiful.
I hate hand stitching bindings and would love some tips for machine binding. I've always been embarrassed at my previous attempts in this area.

It looks great. A couple tips I use for my newbies that helps. If your batting is thick, try to take an extra row of edge stitches to hold it together before putting on the binding. Once you get the feeling of how to hold and move the quilt, this will not be necessary. And, if you are not going to handsew your binding, when you turn it to the front and machine stitch it down, try using a decorative stitch. Then you don't have to stress over it not being perfect. I have a serpentine stitch with a small leaf that I love - it can cover a lot of very late night sewing slips! Also, if you haven't pushed your quilt in far enough in a couple spots, this will make sure it holds. (Although your stitching looks very straight and neat.) With practice none of these things will be issues, but in the beginning, this will help your confidence.

My bindings finally look that good, now that I sew the last stitch, as you have shown. Using my stitch-in-the-ditch foot, I just run the blade along the fold, and having set the needle a few threads to the right, stitch that nice straight stitch. The blade keeps it all straight. I wonder if this is the method wesing used???????
