The guide really helps with this. And the fact that my binding is wider means that when I stitch it down, it is past the bulk of the binding on the back so it's not sewing through so many layers and the stitch on the back just looks like another line of quilting. I got to where I don't use a decorative stitch just so it will look like another line of quilting on the back. Try it, you might just like it. I know my hands do! And there's nothing wrong with seeing the stitch line - people see our quilting lines.
