I use Sharon Schamber's method to bind my quilts. Here are a couple of videos you can watch. She uses Elmer's school glue to hold the edges together. You can then sew with no pins to jab you! I've been using this method for over a year. Works really great!

I agree. The binding take the brunt of the wear on a quilt and I don't think single hold up as well at double.

I have bought every attachment I could find--binding feet that attach to your machine (uses purchased single layer binding), one that attaches to the bed of your sewing machine--still makes single layer binding and the Simplicity binding machine whose regular "feet" make single layer binding. So all in all, if you use single layer strips to bind your quilts these all will work fine. I have yet to find one to do the double layer binding. If anyone knows of one that will please let me know!
