Okay thank you - I will try it later today. Great hint and thank you so much.

I've used Elmers glue sticks for applique but never thought about using the liquid before. Thanks for the tute. I have a quilt ready for binding and I will definitely try your technique.

I'm going to the dollar store as soon as they open up as I have a quilt I'm working on now and I hate pins.

ok, got my glue and the little needle thingy a couple weeks ago.

Quilted 2 quilts in the last few days.

Got my binding for both of them prepared and ironed last night.

So today, I am going to use this glue method for the first time. i can't wait! I HATE binding. This looks right up my ally. NO PINS! :) THANKS AMMA!

Thanks so much for the tutorial, it made everything wonderfully clear. Now to see if I can find a bottle at my dollar store.

I really liked the tip about leaving the dot of glue to dry on the tip, because when I was working on miniature furniture I had glue dry in a similar tip and I ended up throwing the bottle away.
