It's an extra step but it's how I do it. I use Elmer's washable glue and the iron. My binding is folded in half prior to starting. I add a very thin stream of glue along the quilt top and then add the binding to it leaving about 10 inches free, press with the iron. I continue all the way around the quilt including the mitered corners. When I get to the end where I started, I've already have the end with a mitered edge, I open the binding completely leaving the diagonal fold, add a dab of glue along the edge, place the other end, opened also, press. Take it to the machine and stitch along the diagonal fold line. Take it back to the ironing board and finish gluing and pressing. I have no straight pins to stick me as I stitch down the binding. Take it back to the ironing board to press it and then flip the binding over and press again. Either hand sew it to the back or machine stitch, depending on how I feel. I've glued the backside once or twice in the past and stitched with the machine too. Elmer's Glue is my friend.
