    I just measure 2 different sides, multiple it by 2 and add 10 more inches. As I glue my binding onto my quilt before I take it to the machine to sew it on, I know ahead of time whether I have enough or not. Only once did I goof up and not have enough but again I was at the pressing station when I found out. Must have been a bad day for me.

    I love glue basting too. Never used it for binding but will give it a try.

    I rough measure one long side multiply by four and sew strips to make it that long. If square quilt I add ten inches.I don't see the point to measuring exactly.
