I've been using glue for binding for several years. I bought a bottle of Roxanne Glue baste with the metal tip just for this purpose. I press the binding where I want it to go, then run a thin line of glue on the seam part of the binding (away from the binding edge), pull binding into place and press to dry. I use a pin to place corners the way I want them, press, then glue and press again to dry. I machine sew 99% of my bindings and haven't use clips in years. Once the binding is glued, you are able to machine sew the binding without stopping to remove clips or pins. Although I don't think it saves time, I do find it easier. I have also used glue to hand bind my quilts. Please don't subscribe to the " More is Better idea. "A thin line of glue in the seam and away from the binding edge is necessary or you will have a difficult time getting your needle through the fabric.
