I always held the binding with my hands and thought that was just fine, until I tried the Wonder Clips. I love them! I sew to the back by hand, and now my hands don't get as tired when binding.

I use Wonder Clips along the edges, pins for mitering corners. I admit this is the first I've heard of using glue to hold the binding down before sewing. Might try it!

I just machine sew my bindings to the back, flip and sew it down on the front with machine.

SID on the front so it catches the back.
This is what I do too!

Hand stitch the back of my bindings and use only the Wonder Clips. I love those things!

I use them too. I'm going to get some of the bigger ones for putting together knitting projects, now.

I have tried the wonder clips, because everyone was saying how they loved them, I hated them and gave them to a friend, who also hated them and passed them along. I do use liquid Elmer's glue though, but not on the bindings, for bindings, I use pins.

I use wonder clips, machine stitch the top and hand stitch the back on all my quilts.

I use Wonder Clips. I found a you tube tutorial where she doesn't pin at all and wasn't sure how it would work. (Binding has never been my strong suit). I used her method and 1 or 2 binder clips-as I go I keep moving the clips down while holding the binding strip. I am very happy with the results. I do pin at the corners so I know where to pivot. So much easier!

I use wonder clips also and hand stitch to the back. I love the clips and my favorite part of doing a quilt is the binding. I know many don't like doing that but for me it is very relaxing and since I can no longer hand quilt it fills that need.
