I recommend not ironing the binding in half before attaching it to the quilt. Your fabric will fold over much nicer and lay better on the quilt if you don't. |

Susan Schamber glue bastes her quilts in a video and they come out beautifully. I've used the method and it works great but don't get the glue right up to the edge because you can't sew through it easily.
The ironing sets the glue. With this method you can get your binding ruler straight. Watson |
I have never found Elmer's washable school glue to gum up a needle--even if it's still a bit wet. And I use it for : basting, binding, curved edges (actually I prefer Elmer's washable glue stick for that), lining up seams, etc., etc.

I like glue sticks better than liquid glue. Here's the secret to getting them cheap- buy them at Walmart during the back to school sale. Last year they had 4 packs that were 2 or 4 for a dollar. Excellent! I stocked up, and I will still have some left when back to school time rolls around this year. I guess that means I need to do more quilting, right?
