I bought a bottle of glue in an accordion shape bottle at the LQS. It is so much easier to use. And I can refill it. I wouldn't be with out it. I use it for keeping the binding in place. A touch with the iron speeds the drying time.

I use a syringe and the accordion container. If you ever refilled ink for your printer cartridge, the squeeze accordion ink containers with the long thin tips are perfect for teeny tiny dots. For large basting I dilute the glue a tiny bit and hold it up high to squeeze squiggles all over the batting. I smooth out any blobs to cut down on drying time. I'm going to try the diluted glue in a spray bottle for my next quilt.
