This is not a reply to this thread. It is a question. How do you get a previous post into your own reply. I would like to be able to answer a specific person but cannot figure out how to do it.

I have used Roxanne's Basting Glue and love it, but only for applique. I use Wonder Clips for my binding and it works for me. I have to admit I'm not a fan of putting glue on my quilts for any other reason than applique.

The glue method is not messy if you use it either sparingly or with the tiny tips you can also purchase online. I tried it right from the Elmer's Glue bottle and too much came out at one time so tried it with the tips (2 sizes come in the package) and found that worked great. I use the glue for my binding as well as when I have blocks that need their seams to match up perfectly. Doesn't take much glue to hold anything down, just a tiny speck seems to work along with a hot iron. As I wash all my quilts before I give them away, the glue is gone.

Thanks! You're the 2nd person that has directed me to that video. Must be awesome. Checking it out now.
This is where I learned how to do the binding, with Elmer's School Glue.

I got brave and tried the School Glue on a small piece recently. It was hard for me to get the pieces lined up correctly, and they ended up not lined up correctly, as the glue dried before I was ready for it! I worked fine with binding and a small piece, tho. Practice, I guess! Mariah
