I've been using Elmer's Glue to attach my binding on the quilt before stitching it down on the backside and then bringing it to the front side, then I use those clips but I haven't used pins in a number of years. I also use the glue when I'm trying to make sure I'm matching the seams correctly as the glued section won't shift as it can with pins. Glue is my friend and I stock up every Fall when the school supplies come out on sale.
