She has freestuff on there, and a neat video called Binding the Angel, which shows her method of glueing binding on to hold it while she sews, rather than using pins. Since she wins a LOT of competitions, her method must work. She uses Elmer's School glue which washes out, so it doesn't go hard.

I have used Sharon Schamber's method and it DOES work. Check out her videos on "Binding the Angel". All of the glue easily washes out.

I think maybe the walking foot is the answer. I don't pin, just place the binding on the edge and sew it down.

I don't pin my binding to initally sew it to the top, but I do glue baste the binding down before hand or machine sewing it to the other side.
Here is a tute I made for using Elmer's glue. It completely washes out of the quilt, won't stain or discolor, and you purchase a special tip and only use the smallest of drops of glue. the tips can be bought in most craft shops, they are made for acrylic paint, but work awesome for this method. Look where they sell the little bottles of applebarrel or similar brands...
