this one shows how to make a pocket first - then when you get to the end of the binding strip it slips right in - it works slick for me.

I actually like binding a quilt :lol: ....it's putting the quilt sandwich together that I hate but after watching a video of Sharon Schamber's method (found it on the above mentioned website) I can't wait to give it a try!
Good luck on your binding and don't forget to post some pics when you are done.

I knew I'd get some great replies! I posted the question, went off to spend an hour or so working on the quilt, and came back to all these helpful recommendations. I love this board!
I'm certainly going to persevere until the binding is done, because this is one of many ufos that have been around too long, and I'm determined that this is the year that I'm going to stop procrastinating about quilting and binding them, and get them done.

Since no one has posted it yet, I'm going to recommend (again) Sharon Schamber's binding youtube videos.
I used to do really good binding, I thought it was fine and I had the whole concept down.
But now, they are sooooooo much better. She covers everything from cutting the binding, to pressing, to sewing, to turning, to EVERYTHING!
Here's part one (of 3):

Watch. Learn. This is the kind of stuff that should be handed to someone the minute she says she wants to learn how to quilt.
Just genius.

Great video, but your link didn't work. You can search YouTube for Sharon Schamber binding and find it. I took the short URL - not sure if this one will work but try it.

What kind of glue is she using?

She uses Elmers glue. I have also done that method...it works well it does take a while...for me since I am not putting mine in a show I just machine quilt with out the glue..I have been doing different methods each time I do a quilt.
