I'll have to take a look at that video. The one time I tried glue it took me at least twice as long as my method with pins. And I usually don't have a problem with getting stuck so I'm back to pinning my bindings.

One of the things I like about using the glue is that I can get everything looking good before I sit down to sew. No more puckers, no more pin sticks, no more fighting to keep the mitered corners from moving as I sew. Love the glue!

I tried this one a quilt and it worked wonderful. The only thing is it looked so good I didn't sew the bottom of the quilt. I put it in the washer and when it came out the bottom was clearly not sewn. It didn't take but a few min. to fix it and it looked so perfect. I use glue all the time now instead of pins. Changed my dislike of binding.

The problem I have with Elmers method is you cant see the stitch line you need to follow if you machine sew your binding.
With pins you can see under the binding as you go along and make sure you are sewing on top of the stitchs.
