I just did it on my prayer quilt. I was pleasantly surprised as I havent quilted in years. Being the impatient sort, I only used the glue stick on the corners. Do you press it at every stage? My mother used to say 'you sew with your iron'. Obviously an exaggeration, but I got the message.
Personally, I think a binding put on the back on wrapped to the front and machine stitched looks good if done very straight with perfectly matching thread. I just checked the quilt hanging a foot from me and I had to look closely to see how it was done. I prefer this method as I can see what I'm doing.
Practice doesn't make perfect - only perfect practice makes perfect, but it does get easier with time.
