I've been using Elmer's Glue for years when I go to attach my binding onto the quilt. I add a dab of glue and then press. This eliminates having to use pins and getting stabbed. Also, this way I know I have enough binding to go around, everything is in place and I can just stitch around the entire quilt. Also I use it when I have difficult pieces that needs to match up perfectly, again no pins to stab me.
I also used it when I was trying to match 2 pieces of backing. I folded and pressed one seam, then matched it with a bit of glue and pressed. No one was the wiser that it was 2 pieces of fabric............but me. The backing was a bunch of bicycles on black background fabric.
