using glue with bindings
#3
I use regualr elmer's school glue. I went to Hobby Lobby and got a pack of metal screw on fine tips..I use a corsage pin that I keep it cleaned out with when it gets clogged. Works like a charm and washes out. =)

I have never heard of fusibile thread. i need to look that one up...thanks!! And yup I use Elmers glue stick when I am not handsewing the quilt. I find when I hand sew I do not need pins, or glue but when machine sewing I need one or the other.

I wouldn't use a glue stick, since it can gunk on the needle. I use a very small dispenser and make a tiny line of glue inside the seam, and secure it by pressing. I then sew on the binding. Then I add another tiny row inside the seam again if I will attach the binding on the other side by machine. If doing it by hand you don't have to be so careful about the tiny line of glue.
