At the very top go to classes, select Free classes,and scroll down near the end for the binding. I didn't like it until I tried it and it made a huge difference on the look of my quilts. There are many other classes there you can enjoy. I just saw one to square a block. Excellent.

I looked up the website. She wants $180 to join. Didn't see anywhere I could get that info other than joining. I would rather pin for that price, thank you.
Have you looked into Pinmoors? They are a special block that goes on the end of the pin so they don't come sliding out while you are quilting or basting.

Thanks so much for clearing that up about the registration. It is not clear on her site. At least to me it wasn't.
Have a great day!
Wow! Thank you so much for sharing! Tons of great information and it felt like I was right there taking a class with her.
Have a great day!

i saw the link to using elmer's glue on this board recently. it said to use a Bic MECHANICAL pencil - take the tip off and insert it into the orange tip of the elmers glue - you have to pry it off and do some cutting on the elmer's tip but it is soooo fine. i used this method with a young lady last monday. she used the backing folded over for the binding. Well, it took ONE HOUR to fold over, glue, iron and SEW the binding and it was done. i couldn't believe it. i know one thing - as God is my witness, i will NEVER use pins again to bind a quilt.
this was a double bed size quilt and it never moved while we handled it & moved it around. fantastic!!

I got a book from The Keepsake Quilter and the tip and bottle is offered in it. It is item # 8486 $8.99 for a 2 oz refillable bottle.The shipping is $2.99. I have the tip that I used when painting but I just use it straight from the bottle. It gives a tiny dot and works fine. I am glueing all my binding right now and love it. So why waste the money when the elmers glue bottle works just fine?

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I've had so many problems with putting on my binding. I've had two classes where I've been shown how to do the "usual" method. I was especially discouraged with my mitered corners. After my last quilt, I decided it was time I learned how to really do the binding so it looked professional.
And here is the wonderful method...I watched the whole video. I am so excited to try this method!
Blowing kisses at you!

To make your own fine tip glue bottles: Buy 1 bottle of Elmer's WASHABLE school glue and 1 disposable click pencil with a long narrow tip. Take the Elmer's glue bottle and pop the orange top off. Then take a scissors and snip off the white guts that protrude up from the bottle. Then snip a small amount off the top of the orange cap...( a little less than 1/4"). Screw the bottom tip off the pencil and shove it up through the orange cap creating a nice fine tip to the glue bottle. Screw this cap onto the glue bottle and you're ready to go. I put a pin in it when not in use. I use this for binding...esp. bias binding. Works wonderful for putting in zippers too. Apply a fine line of glue and heat set with your iron...doesn't even need pins. And the best part is that it washes out...
