Here is the triangle method. I am going to try this next time.

Someone in my guild demonstrated this method, and I used it on a quilt I just entered in our guild show last month. It worked great. You only have to hand stitch the two ends. I will always use this method now because I hate hand sewing as well.
When I did the search I did come across one tute from Bernina that used a blind hem stitch to sew it on. She stated the stitches were not on the front . You will need to be very careful when using this method to ensure you are catching only the backing fabric when doing this method. If these are commission pieces I would not do it this way but you could experiment with a couple of your own.

For some wall hangings I sew triangles in the corners before I sew the binding on. Just cut squares to what ever size you think are right for the project and press them on the diagonal. Place them in each corner and machine baste them about 1/8" in from the edge and then sew your binding on in whatever fashion you use. Just cut a dowel to the width you need and slip under the corners to hang.
Hope this gives inspiration.

For shows when i plan to use as bedquilt or give as a gift I have safety pinned my sleeves on. Just as long as sleeve meets width of poles to which it will be hung, I have never had an issue. Of course, I use a lot of pins

Here's a video showing how to add the sleeve after quilting/before biding & it's done mostly by machine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOff5Ok0f8M

For a quick “temporary” sleeve I have pinned the top and bottom portion of a scrap of fabric or folded sleeve depending on what I have handy. Have done this for picture taking or to display a quilt at a quilt shop or my sewing room. it works

Put triangles in the corners. You figure what size they should be. You don't want too much space at the top between them.
Fold a square of material in half and put the raw edges in each corner.
Baste them in place with a long stitch between the edge of the quilt and where the binding seam will be, about 1/8" from edge.
Add binding.
No hand sewing and all you need is a dowel to slide into the pockets for hanging.
