Default Elmer's school glue for binding

I have a difficult time pinning the binding onto the quilt. I've read that some of you use Elmer's School Glue and press it down to dry the glue. I thought this might be a little easier for me since I have RA and my hands are not very dextrous. (Heck, they don't work very well at all.)

The binding is sewn to the back of the quilt and now I have one edge turned and pressed to the front of the quilt, but I'm having trouble mitering the corner. Anyone have any tips or tricks to get a neat mitre when turning the corner? Do you glue and press in line, then turn in the mitre, glue and press again and then finally turn the corner and start gluing/pressing along the second side?

I have to add that all my binding is sewn by machine. I can't handstitch anymore.
