In the past before I realized that all the bindings needed to have more than a single seam holding them on, I have used the pre-made satin binding and finished a blanket off with it by just inserting the edges of the blanket into the binding and sewing it on. I always used a straight stitch.
I thought I would let the experts give us their opinion. I went to the Youtube website and searched for Sewing a satin binding on a quilt. These were a couple of the videos.

Have you considered sewing it on like any regular quilt binding? In retrospect, trying to sew that satin binding on by hand might be very interesting. I h.a.t.e how satin moves and slides. Years ago, one of my daughters insisted on a satin dress for a school dance. That fabric made me crazy! Would your quilt lend itself to having something like giant rick-rack or a playful thin binding as an applique over your stitching? There are some cute thin laces that could be sewn to cover your original stitching. Wouldn't really work for a boy.
Another thought..... What if you deliberately ruffle it?

I have been considering doing the regular quilt style binding with the satin and stitching it outright again instead if hand stitching the back. If anyone has thoughts or expertise on this, I'm very open.
Satin slipping is next to none when it comes to frustrations! I am making a double sided minky blanket upon my sons request... ONLY for love with then one... and NEVER again (for now).

Just thinking...what if you use a "very" lighweight fusible interfacing on the back of the Satin? This would make it more durable and easier to sew.
This handy-dandy chart has good info on the types of Pellon interfacing.
