I use Sharon Schamber's method to bind my quilts. Here are a couple of videos you can watch. She uses Elmer's school glue to hold the edges together. You can then sew with no pins to jab you! I've been using this method for over a year. Works really great!

I don't mind doing binding as it gives me a change of position and I get to actually watch tv while using the ironing board in the next room from where I cut and sew.

Looks like a lot of quilters are buying.They're back ordered.Has anyone tried the Wonder Clips to hold binding in place while sewing?

I agree. The binding take the brunt of the wear on a quilt and I don't think single hold up as well at double.

I have bought every attachment I could find--binding feet that attach to your machine (uses purchased single layer binding), one that attaches to the bed of your sewing machine--still makes single layer binding and the Simplicity binding machine whose regular "feet" make single layer binding. So all in all, if you use single layer strips to bind your quilts these all will work fine. I have yet to find one to do the double layer binding. If anyone knows of one that will please let me know!

Get a cardboard and cut a slot in it for free

I use 2 1/2" binding, fold in half length wise. Sew on back of quilt with 1/4"; fold to right to just cover stitching line and sew close to edge. Works great and no hand stitching.
