Binding Help
I normally machine stitch my binding on the front, then wrap it to the back and hand stitch it. Why does it look so much better on the back, with my hand sewing? I'm thinking I need to machine stitch it to the back, then bring up to the front.
What do you do?

For quilts that I'm going to hand stitch the binding on, I sew on the back first and pull to the front.
Other quilts, I sew to the front and pull to the back. I then stitch in the ditch on the front with clear thread to barely catch the edge on the back.

I think the front looks absolutely fine! Are you talking about the corners? I wonder because you posted pics of the corners. You can tack those down too - I use a ladder stitch and tack that mitered fold down.
