I've never done Discord but I'd be keen to have a look.
Edge binding is the bane of my existence, I've ordered an attachment for the new machine and can't wait for it to show up. Supposedly the neatest way to do it is folding it open and sewing the edge on before folding it over and giving it a top stitch, but I've never had the patience for that.
@Chopsicle inspired me to try (what I later discovered to be) an overcasting foot and that helped a lot. It pushes the binding up against the edge of the fabric and the stitching stays straight too.
