I love to glue baste my binding. Here are Sharon Schamber's tutorial videos for her method (the back of the binding starts probably halfway through the second video...)

For an alternative without glue, I've seen people iron the binding and pinning a small length of it to the quilt with hair clips. Then sew it down, then pin a bit more. The good thing about hair clips is, you don't accidentally poke yourself while holding the quilt (as with pins).
Example of the kind of hairclips people use (you can buy special ones in quilt shops but apparently more expensive, and they do the same):

Good luck!!! And be sure to post pictures of your work here when you are done, we all love seeing them. :thumbup:
