I just saw Sharon Schamber's binding the Angel part 1,2, & 3 on you tube and learned about using glue and she really uses her iron when doing her binding. It is worth watching. You can get the fine needle tips for the glue on Sewing with Nancy. I think putting the fine bead of glue on the quilt requires using the needle like tip. She will tell you to use only Elmers School glue, no residue.
