I use this method too. Start in the middle with your batting on the table, quickly sweep around the glue so it doesn't build up. If there are gobs here and there just smear them. Put on the backing, smooth and iron nice and flat. Continue until the backing is on then flip and so the same for the top. It will be nice and flat because you ironed it that way and no slipping or sliding. You do need to wash out the glue at the end of binding. Remember a little glue goes a very, very long way!
