Piping is now all on. Finally! Working on trim. Instruction said to add the trim after I attached the lining and flipped it... Besides the fact that I can't do that because I took the liberty of adding bones and my machine's needles will NOT appreciate it.... I find that suggestion all wrong. If I did it that way the stitches would show on the lining side... am I just being silly or does anyone else find that instruction not worthy of following.

The only thing that I can think of is that they wanted stitching the trim to be multi-purpose. It would tack down the lining nicely so that it wouldn't flip out while you're wearing it as well as stitching the trim down. I suppose it also makes it a bit easier to line up with the edge so the trim is aligned correctly and doesn't look sloppy. However, like you said, won't work the way you're doing it. I personally never apply trim after the lining is attached...okay, shouldn't say never but never that I can think of right now.
