I agree...just put the glue at the very edge of the material. I have done this a few times now and works great. If you glue too close to the 1/4 inch the glue will show on your fabric. I use the glue stick, its not messy.

BTW....someone asked if glue would gum up the needle.I asked the same.She said you sew binding to quilt, then add thin bit of glue....the glue is right along quilt edge, tho on binding.So there's not enough to get on needle from that far away.Then press & sew binding down. Hope thats clear as mud.:-)
