I too have done this just like Debbie Cook says, starting on the right side (right sides to right sides), then fold over to the back and top stitch it down with a twin needle from the right side, then finally trim away the excess binding on the back. I just got a serger with cover stitch capabilities though, so from now on, I'll probably cover stitch such edgings. I love using such bindings, on home sewn items, it really gives it a professional and nicely finished look, that is for sure! I've even used it on home sewn panties, using the white edges of a 4-way stretch print, making panties and boxers with no elastic at all. Very comfortable to wear! Great tutorial.

I've done these before but never pressed the seam allowance like you do. That made it so easy. Thanks for the tutorial. I’ve done these before but never pressed the seam allowance like you do.

When not using my CS machine, I'll do something similar but I start from the front and fold over to the back. That way there's no stitches on the front to cover (or miss, in my case!) and I can trim the excess binding next to the stitches on the back. It’s great to see how everyone does things.
