I put my binding on yesterday & used the glue basting method. I had no puckering. I set the glue with the iron.I'm quite pleased. Here's a link to the thread that I learned from.

It wa on a true 45 angle and it didn't all pucker, just sometimes it was more fabric on the binding and less on the quilt.

I did try for the first time to cut the binding WOF and pressed it first and it did come out wonderful. It was a long table runner with not curved edges. Thank you all for the information.

I always make my own bias binding. I cut 2 1/2", seam on the diagonal, fold in half, press, sew to the front and hand stitch to the back. I sew to the front using my walking foot and am very careful not to pull on it while stitching just let my machine feed it. It's funny, but to me I think the bias binding is very forgiving when I am hand stitching. I have never had a pucker.
