I have used the liquid glue method (Sharon Schamber's) for binding on many quilts. I have not noticed any problem with my BabyLock gumming up at all. Perhaps it is because it takes a while to get around the quilt and get the binding glued on and ironed. The ironing sets the glue and you don't need any pins at all to hold it in place. This is for those who worry about getting glue in their machines. I think if the glue is set, you would not have to worry about it. Just my opinion.
