I know that's sort of a generic name so I'll try and describe it just a bit more. Visualize the thread coming out of binding edge. I stick my needle straight down from that point then angle it so the needle comes out a little to the left (maybe 1/16th to 1/8th of an inch), pierces the binding as it comes up and I pull through. Now I'm back to having that thread sitting right at the edge of the binding. They key is to develop a technique where you're accurately placing your needle so you never see the thread. I always match the color of my thread to the binding, not the quilt. That way stitches seem to disappear against the binding.
