This is the method I use. I love not having to deal with pins!

Always,have done it this way for years, it is so much easier, glue then press and it stays in place and no pin pokes.

That's what I did most recently - no pins at all! no glue! - and it came out better than any of my previous efforts.

Don't know why, hope it happens again!!! LOL

And you can get the glue sticks pretty cheap right now at Walmart....I think I paid $.40 for two so I stocked up.

never had my needle gum up with glue sticks either..i use glue sticks for strip quilt blocks..saves time pressing after each strip is stitched on..

Me too! Love those things! :-D :-D :-D

I used them for the first time last night & loved them! No pins to get pricked & poked with.

I also use the hair clips - get them in big packages at the $ store.

I have always used the hair clips but may have to try the glue so I can machine stitch binding instead of hand stitching - thanks cheryl :thumbup:

I've used the Elmer's washable School Glue in the past with great success (no gunked needles) and have bought the liquid glue and tips to do the Schamber's method, but haven't tried it that way yet.
