I’m confused. In the illustration above Sew The Binding to The Back, the needle is shown in the ditch right next to the binding, How is the binding being sewn down if the needle is sewing next to it and not on it?
-
The needle is on the top of the quilt. The binding is folded under. The binding is wide enough to be to the left of the needle. You may have to make a sample if you can not picture this in your mind. I hope this helps you.

The binding was turned to the back and you are stitching in the ditch on the front to catch it on the back.

These are very good instructions and photos, always helpful. I use this process up to the point of doing the final sewing of the binding. I enjoy the hand-stitching part. But, then I top stitch the binding because I like the look of the top-stitching.

Could you post a photo of what the binding looks like on the back?

Sew the Binding to the Back – my answer to the 2 questions before me.
To sew the binding to the back of the quilt, you will actually stitch it down from the front. You will be attaching the binding using the ‘stitch in the ditch’ process. Do you see where my needle is? That is where you will sew your binding.
See the first line “you will actually stitch it down from the front.” The binding on the back is slightly wider than the front so when you sew FROM THE FRONT SIDE in the ditch, you are stitching down the binding on the back. Try making a small sample and you can see how this works.
Using the walking foot is a great idea so the fabrics don’t move. Thanks for the tutorial.
