I give credit to Sharon Schambers each time I show another person how nice your binding will look with her method.
good luck

Ditto - I really like her method of binding a quilt.I have used it several times and it works. What I like about using it if something isn't straight or you need to take it apart just lift it up and start over, no sticking or using a ripper.
I don't think I would use rubber cement on fabric especially not a quilt. The fumes get me also, but then I don't think it washes out. I taught First Grade for 21 yrs and I definitely know Elmers School glue washes out..
