I like to use Sharon Schambers method of starching the binding so it stays folded in half. I use Sta Flo starch mixed half and half with water in a small spray bottle from eyeglass cleaner. See her video. I don't mind the pressing because I know I will get beautiful results. Then instead of gluing I use Wonder Clips to hold the binding to the quilt. I prefer sewing to the front of the quilt and hand stitching with ladder stitch to the back. I just did the binding on a king size quilt with this method for a client. She was really pleased.
