I've never heard of using glue on binding, but it sure sounds like a good idea.

I use Elmer's School Glue if I use glue.

A glue stick from the Dollar Tree. Three in a pkg for $1. I'm lazy. I only do the corners on binding. The rest seems to behave itself.

ditto the elmer's school glue. it has changed the way my bindings look. now, all four corners are great!

Elmers school glue. During Walmarts back to school sale the had it for .40 bottle. A bottle lasts longer than glue sticks.

I tried it once with Elmers school glue - get the one with the very small opening on one end - do a very thin strip and then press. It washed out fine, no-show even on dark fabric.
Sharon Schamber (sp) has a video on this if you search this website it will pop up.
