When using glue for bindings, people use the Elmer's washable school glue (white stuff in a plastic bottle). This glue is basically just very thick starch. You place small dots of glue or a very thin line of glue on the binding, then iron it. Ironing is what makes the fabrics stick together with the glue. I use it sometimes when I am having a problem matching up seams. Just a small dot inside the seam allowance, a quick iron, and it acts like a glue "pin". After sewing the seam, I can pull the fabrics apart. Sharon Schamber has a video on Youtube demonstrating how she uses this glue for bindings.
