Binding a quilt using the backing fabric - tutorial links

Judy asked how this is done. There are two basic variants, and plenty more if you think about it a little.
First way, flip the backing over and sew it down.
Second way, flip it over and use a double-sided fusible to iron it down.
The last time I did this, I cut 3/4 inch wider on all sides than the top and ended up with a binding about 1/4 inch on a small quilt. This was with a very thin batting.

Here are some tutorials from other people on how to do this. None of these show the fusing, but really, it's just a case of folding it over and fusing it to the top instead of sewing it.
You can also do something similar to create a border.
