I just went in and looked close at the threads of the binding in the video. They are running like she used cut fabric with the grain. Huh, I was always told to use the bias because of the cross threads on the edge make it more durable. Interesting ... very interesting. I suppose because this is a wallhanging it would not be as important ??? Live and learn

I used Elmer's school glue to sew the circles on this quilt. http://www.quiltingboard.com/posts/list/17782.page
I didn't use a special tip, I found if I was just a little bit careful I could get a thin bead of glue just using the tip on the bottle. I also used it on some bias binding on a set of potholders and it worked great. I'll be using it from now on instead of pins.

It's the only way I do binding anymore. It takes time to glue everything down but saves sooo much more time in the sewing process. Sharon used to have a free video on how to make these glue tips with plain on mechanical pencils. But it's been removed since she started selling the tips.

Yes, I took a class from Sharon (fantastic teacher) earlier this year (piecelique). It's a variation on paper piecing, and I love it much more. I find it faster, more accurate, and easier to understand once I got the hang of it. No paper to pull off the back when the block is done, and you only need 2 copies of the pattern for multiple blocks: one for cutting, one for placement. Works great on curves. Also, you can flip each seam whichever side you want it before sewing the next. I used a bottle of Glue-Baste-It with a long thin metal applicator. You can see a picture at www.thatperfectstitch.com under notions tab. I expect you can find that type of bottle in a well stocked craft store. I don't see how glue stick would work well, and it would be a lot slower than washable school glue.
