I've always used Elmer's School glue for bindings, following a Sharon Schamber video. I think it was called Binding the Angel.

I pin basted for years, then I tried spray basting and absolutely hated that, and about a year ago I watched a YouTube video about basting with Elmer's glue and I will never use another method for sandwiching my quilts together. It's perfect, I purchase my glue from Amazon and use a funnel to put it in an 8 oz bottle. You must try this method!

I use Elmers Glue School Glue too. Love it. I put it on the batting then spread it around with something that has a straight edge like a spatula so that it doesn't dry in lumps.

I'm a gluer using Elmer's washable school glue. Rarely pin. Using glue is a lot faster. Since I use washable l markers to mark the grid for quilting, I have to wash quilt the quilt anyway.

Since glue basting is easier, you must have gotten a table as well. Trying to imagine glue basting on the floor . . .

I use the school glue for all my basting. Works great and no issues yet.

I've recently tried the glue stick for needle turn applique.. l iron the freezer pattern piece to the back of the fabric piece l'm using, and cut out the shape with nearly 1/ 4 " seam allowance. Normally, l finger pressed the seam allowance back, then stitched most of the way around, then pulled out the paper just before closing off the shape. Now, l still finger press, but then use glue stick on seam allowsnce, remove paper and stick the seam allowance down. I find this very helpfull for narrow and odd dhsped smaller pieces. I then sew them in place with blind stitch.

Elmer's School glue is great! I use it for basting. And i use the stick version for matching seams, EPP, and sometimes when I am binding a quilt. For medical reasons I haven't been able to do a lot of quilting and the glue sticks lost a lot of their stickiness. So I won't be stock piling the glue sticks anymore. Will just buy them in packs of three - they aren't that expensive. The liquid school glue seems to stay okay - but you need to shake it up from time to time because it will separate after a few months.
