I don't have arthritis, but found this is my preferred method.
For me it's just the easiest way to get a nice finish with a machine binding. The ironing is enough to hold it in place so it stitches up nicely. I actually have never done any hand bindings. :$

I iron so many times as it is easier for my hands. For those who don't have arthritis folding should be enough.
Yes, I have used a little glue to also hold the binding in place.
