A post today mentioned using glue to apply a binding to your quilt. This is the tutorial I saw that completely changed how I do my bindings. Sharon Schamber has excellent instructions.

At the very top go to classes, select Free classes,and scroll down near the end for the binding. I didn't like it until I tried it and it made a huge difference on the look of my quilts. There are many other classes there you can enjoy. I just saw one to square a block. Excellent.

I love this method, too! I learned about it from this board when someone posted it about a year ago!

Thanks for sharing this again. This was a life saver for me! :)

i watched this binding tute very impressed --but now having to chase the glue in aussi ??elmers school glue

i tried it but evidently got too much glue and it went right through my fabric. i may buy roxannes with the tiny tip and try again.

Thanks for posting this. I've read on here about gluing the binding, but I couldn't see how it would be easier than pinning. Wow! She is GOOD!

I use this method as well. I make one variation, and that is that I pin the binding to my quilt top to attach it, but I glue to the back before sewing. I was "bothered" by putting glue on my quilt top...I can't explain it. I know good and well that it won't be seen, and if there were some mess, it would wash off...but I just can't bring myself to do it. :lol:

I've been wanting to try this but can't find the extra fine tips to use with my glue bottle. Where do you all get yours?

A large syringe.

I've tried the glue method and it was the best binding I have ever machine sewn on. HOWEVER, I found glue tips that popped off if the bottle was squeezed too hard -- what a mess that made. Please tell us the proper brand of tips and where to find them.

Thanks!
