I do them all by machine and if they were to be judged, I think one should expect a straight line on the frontwhich is parallel to the ditch (if not stitched directly in the ditch), and on the back (the way I do them), the folded edge needs to be parallel to the row of stitching. Mine aren't all like that, but occasionally.

Do all my bindings by machine. Sew to the back, flip, press and machine stitch to the front. Saves a ton of time, and if done properly, and carefuly, gives a very nice finished look to the quilt.

I've tried Easy Peezy's method and just made a mess of things with the glue and it looked absolutely horrible on the back. Thank goodness the glue all washed out.

Sorry to hear it didn't work for you. Maybe you used too much glue.
Did you set the glue with the iron? Try with a small project first...
like a pot holder.
