Binding with glue? I would appreciate if someone would explain and point me in the right direction.

You could start by checking out Sharon's videos here:

Go to youtube and search her. She does a very good three part tutorial. I believe it is called "Binding the Angel"

thank you so much! i am going there now

I love using glue for bindings!! You can make a perfect (?) mitered corner using the glue ( a little goes a long way ) and a steam free iron.
It keeps the binding together without pins, is easy to sew thru, and washes out. |
I watched this method on a youtube clip. I tried it on a small wallhanging. It worked, but I didn't like doing it. I love doing my binding my hand. It is one of my favorite parts of doing a quilt.
|
I do her method for the front and then fold back and hold it with a little glue to hand stitch it. It helps to make sure the binding is the same width all the way around.
|
Going to have to try this method.

This looks great...my question...does it not get glue on your needle?
|
If you do it right, the glue (a very thin thread of glue) should be within your 1/4" seam, and you should be sewing outside of it. That said, I'm sure my gluing wasn't perfect, but the ironing dries the glue and I didn't have any residue on my needle. I tried to keep the glue as close to the edge of my quilt as possible.
