I always held the binding with my hands and thought that was just fine, until I tried the Wonder Clips. I love them! I sew to the back by hand, and now my hands don't get as tired when binding.

I use Wonder Clips along the edges, pins for mitering corners. I admit this is the first I've heard of using glue to hold the binding down before sewing. Might try it!

I just machine sew my bindings to the back, flip and sew it down on the front with machine.

Hand stitch the back of my bindings and use only the Wonder Clips. I love those things! :)

I use them too. I'm going to get some of the bigger ones for putting together knitting projects, now.

I have tried the wonder clips, because everyone was saying how they loved them, I hated them and gave them to a friend, who also hated them and passed them along. I do use liquid Elmer's glue though, but not on the bindings, for bindings, I use pins.

I use wonder clips, machine stitch the top and hand stitch the back on all my quilts.

I use Wonder Clips. I found a you tube tutorial where she doesn't pin at all and wasn't sure how it would work. (Binding has never been my strong suit). I used her method and 1 or 2 binder clips-as I go I keep moving the clips down while holding the binding strip. I am very happy with the results. I do pin at the corners so I know where to pivot. So much easier!

I use wonder clips also and hand stitch to the back. I love the clips and my favorite part of doing a quilt is the binding. I know many don't like doing that but for me it is very relaxing and since I can no longer hand quilt it fills that need.
