Ironing Binding Strips *** Why Not?

I read through this thread with great interest. I am ready to attach my binding to my current quilt. I have not pressed (yet).
So - do I just place the edges of my binding together and pin to my quilt same as always? Only difference being not ironing the binding in half (so I don't have that crease)? I might be being slow, but how does not ironing affect how the binding goes on (since I'm thinking I have the edges together - and then I need to pin in place)?
I'm game to try, but wanted to make sure everything else is the same (except not ironing the binding in half - which I hate doing anyway).![Confused](https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/confused.png)

Thank you for confirming how to go about it. I've never basted or zig zagged along the edges as I quilt just shy of the quilt edge (meandering stitch). Wondering if that's one of those small things that ends up making a bigger difference than you'd think. At any rate, going to give the no iron method a try.

Okay, I'm sold! I never liked ironing the binding anyway.
