I've also tried the liquid glue on the bindings, but like the sticks much better - I can zip that glue stick across the quilt so much faster than liquid and it requires less ironing time. But, this is just my honest opinion.
That is one of the things I enjoy about the posts...everyone has an opinion and a specific way that they like to do things. Yet sharing our ideas, tips and techniques helps each and every one of us. For instance, using the glue stick to run along the binding is something I had never thought of trying. It sounds as if it is easier and faster than using the liquid glue. Another technique I will have to remember to try and see if I like it.
