Do not like making the "sandwich" and pinning it.

Exactly how do you do this? Glue a small area, iron it, glue some more, iron? I bought a glue stick thinking about using it, but wasn't sure how to do it, so I went back to pinning & cussing about the danged binding.

Yes that's exactly the way you do it. I usually put a line of glue that is the same length as my iron is long. Clear as mud?
I do like using glue for my bindings & for matching seams. Glue rocks! :thumbup:

I get frustrated squaring up blocks. I put so much time and effort into accurate cutting and sewing an accurate quarter inch seam allowance but my blocks still end up uneven! Everything else I really enjoy!

I hate squaring the fabrics and the final quilt. I have never figured out if I'm doing it correctly. I know one of these days I am going to screw up a perfectly good quilt. I don't get the off grain thing either. How do you ladies look at fabric and instinctively know it is off grain? I buy good fabrics to avoid problems but I know problems occasionally happen with every manufacturer.

I should stick to baking - that I don't screw up!
