The binding is stitched to the back of the quilt, folded over to the front, & between being wider than what is on the back, & stitching along the flange part, the stitching is hidden on the front while nice & neat on the back.
The DQ I made for June shows the flange binding. I used STID on the green up against the red. A tip: I use my zipper foot for STID so I can keep the needle guided right where I need it.

Thanks, Dotty! As I said, I can't get to your DQ very soon, but I will!
