After I fold my binding over and iron it, I sew it 1/8" together on the unfinished side to keep it from pushing apart when I'm sewing it onto my quilt. It really helps. It lays flat and no more surprises.

too much work for me ;-)

That question is pretty much answered on this current thread.

I used to stitch everything, until I found about about the Elmer's School Glue method. The glue holds the layers together, as well as holding them to the quilt. Sooooooo much easier, IMO.

After I wrote this thread, I saw there was another thread just like this one.

I have used this method and the glue method. Both work great, so just depends on what I feel like doing.

So far, I've had no problem with just ironing the binding flat.

Could someone please explain the glue method thanks in advance

If you go to you tube and look under Sharon Schamber, she has a glue method that works great. Sharon has many good videos on many topics.

I was making a bunch of binding this afternoon, to be ready to bind a project I'm finishing up.
Suddenly I realized, I do that ..... except I sew mine at 1/4" .... as I add it to the quilt.

Honestly, I don't believe in doing extra work if there's no need ... I've never had any problems in getting it to lay flat. All I do is cut it, join the strips, then press in 1/2 and I'm ready to go!
