Radish the Great is not a role model. She's not even human. She's a cartoon. Some of the things she does would get a real person hurt, arrested, expelled, possibly even deported. In other words--don't try this at home.

Which is why I NEVER bother with them! (expletives being so unladylike and all, not a good example to our offsprings, but then they probalby know expelteves that I do, having grown up an era where they seem to be more acceptable...)
But, enough of that, let me recommend to you the binding Mimi Deitrich calls French Binding in her much published and reprointed book "Happy Endings" Cut o nthe straight and doubled, adaptable for any width you like but I love it very narrow (showing only 1/4" -1/2" on the front) You sew the folded and pressed strip to the front and fold that over to the back ready to slip stitch into place. As you do sew it on., at each corner you fold it and start again in such a way that on both front and back the fabric folds into a neat envelope corner. Joint the ends of the strips to fit the final few inches any way you want to, but I have found blissful ease in doing a straicht join befroe gfolding the shole thing to the back. I have used it for years and if upi make it fairly narrow narrow it will even take gentle wavy shapes - no worries. I don't have the book to hand but can send a diagram or two if you need.
