When you machine finish a binding....

I attach all my bindings by machine except for wall hangings. My quilts, even though they are very pretty, are utilitarian quilts and machine stitched binding is best, my opinion. I attach the binding to the back side of the quilt first and then wrap the binding to the front and stitch down with a regular straight stitch. Using this method allows you to get a nice stitch on the front that lays right in the ditch of the back side stitching. (hope this explanation makes sense )

i do the same as Trisha. but i switch to the joining foot and move my needle to the right 4-5 clicks. then, keeping the flange of the foot keeps the straight stick nice and even from the edge.

I fold my binding over and put straight pins in catching it from the front. I position them straight along the fold of the binding, flipping every so many to make sure the binding it held by the pin. then i straight stitch in the ditch with maybe a 2.4 length.
