I glue all the way around the quilt it makes the whole binding come out better ,strighter easier to line it up, because it doesn't move when sewing. :thumbup: :thumbup:

This is what I did - didn't even know there was a special tip - but just out of the bottle applied sparingly as above worked fine for me.

That sounds like the way Sharon Schamber does it, you might check out her website or look her up on youtube.

I take the top off the glue bottle and dip in a toothpick or the tip of an old safety pin.
