I’ve been doing this for years. My tip - keep a moist wash rag nearby to clean your fingers if you get glue on them. Also, I find the iron works almost immediately so I only keep it on the spot a second or two, plus I glue down a whole side at a time. One caution - minky is polyester and doesn’t like hot irons so be careful to stay on the cotton binding as you iron. Also when binding minky, I apply the glue to the cotton binding rather than the minky as the minky absorbs the glue and makes it tougher.
Yes - as I said in the video - this isn't new, but it is getting more popular among quilters. Thanks for sharing your experience and thanks for watching!
I am so happy of this video. I did not know how to use the glue my hubby bought me! Thank you so much for your beautiful demonstration!💕
You're welcome! I'm so glad it was useful!
I do love great mitered corners!
I do also! Thanks so much!
I have to say, I LOVED this glue trick and I did it tonight on my first quilt! Now it will be so easy to do the final stitching! Thanks for your videos and tutorials. Right to the point and great info! Appreciate it! I’m always looking to save time and money (Lord knows how much I’ve waisted on tools and tricks that really don’t work!)
I love it as well - I use it all of the time. There are 30ml empty bottles with the long tips available on Amazon if you are having trouble finding the precision tips. Thanks for watching!
I am going to pick up that tip on my next shopping trip ! I have glue basted my quilts and binding for a few years now! Great video!!
Thank you so much! The link for the tip is in the description of the video. I got it at Hobby Lobby in the acrylic paint section of the store.
I just did it again on a sweet little wall hanging ... so good! I love this method so I can sew on front through to back with no errors when I am in ditch.
I'm so glad you love it! It really is a great way to baste and everything comes out PERFECT! Thanks for watching!
I had my hubby buy me that glue~~~haven’t tried it yet~I will try it now after watching your video!💕💕💕
Hope it works well for you!
Love this... I normally sew it to the back and flip around to the front. I'm happy to learn a new way, though... that corner is perfect!!
Thanks! I really love this method. Thanks for watching!
It's my favorite too. I use it each time I have to sew 😊
I have done this as well. I bought a special glue as suggested by another you tuber but it did not work any better than the Elmer's and Elmer's is much cheaper. I really loved how this worked. Great tutorial.
Thanks so much for watching! I agree - glue is glue! I do like the tip and it was only $1.99 at Hobby Lobby in the acrylic paint department. It's called the Crafter's Collection Ultra Fine Writer's Tip and is available on their website. Thanks for watching! www.hobbylobby.com/Crafts-Hobbies/Craft-Paint-Stencils/Paint-Storage/Ultra-Fine-Writer-Tip/p/80772552
Been doing this for years and love it! You did a great job explaining how to do it. Bravo!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Looks like a fabulous way to attach a border to a quilt so you don't have to worry about hand-stitched binding coming loose! I am now shopping for the tip and glue. THANKS!!!
You still need to sew it on after you apply the glue, but the glue stabilizes it so that you can get a nice, straight, even border without pins or clips! Thanks for watching!
What a great tip! I will definitely be trying this next time I bind a quilt!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Mary, I just rewatched this video because I'm ready to bind a Project Linus quilt for donation. This technique is an absolute game changer for me! Thank you for all the great tips, and I hope to meet you at the retreat in June.
You're so welcome!!! See you in June!
5 stara for this one. I'm going to order a case of school glue and nozzles to bind my UFP"s! LOL
It's a game changer for me! I'll venture to say "You're going to LOVE it!" :-) I bought the tip at Hobby Lobby in the acrylic paint department.

I like to bind this. It works great, especially on large quilts.
I agree! Thanks for watching and for sharing!
How cool! Thanks, Mary!
You're so welcome Lucille!

Love your method. Have a binding to finish so looking forward to finishing.
Thank you! Good luck and thanks for watching!
Wow thank you! I learned something I didn't expect to...a new way to apply binding
It really works well for me. I always enjoyed binding my quilts, but I love the accuracy and even look I get when I glue baste first. Thanks for watching!
I just found out about using school glue to baste my quilt, worked great, but I like the idea of the tip.😊
Thanks for sharing!
Your video was a wonderful thing .... such a great teacher! Can't wait to try this and I will be purchasing the special tip. Thank you so much.

Thanks for watching!
Genius! Thank you!
You're welcome!
I sew my binding on the front too but I iron it before turning over to do the glue and I put a drop under my corner miter, just a drop. Having that tip must be great! To Hobby Lobby I go!
Enjoy! Thanks for watching!
I also iron it toward the back. It makes the process so much easier!
Great video and demonstration. I am also dental irrigation syringe for glue distribution. Many ways to achieve the same results. Wonderful clear example!
Great idea! Thanks for watching Denise!
Love it! Must try asap!
I really have been happy with the results! Thanks for watching!

I have used this glue in liquid form Mary but I think I prefer the glue sticks! Wonderful demo. TY💕🧵🧵🧵
I will hubby get that extra!
Great!
HI, love your tutorial!! I would also be interested in the glue tips you used

@@joyfulandmerryquiltingThank you! My favorite craft store!
Looks great..but, ironing a queen size quilt on an ironing board (most of us do not have a large ironing table as you professionals) would be very difficult.. right? All quilting CZcamsrs show tutorials use small quilts in their demonstrations. Larger quilts harder to handle, making some things more difficult. I love you guys anyway and watch soooo many and appreciate the things I do learn. Thank you. (KH)
This is NOT a small quilt, David, - and yes, I did it entirely on my ironing board. It really is possible. I made sure that I had a tv tray next to my ironing board to hold the weight of the quilt as I pressed and voila! It worked. Thanks for your kind words and for watching. I hope you'll give it a try!
I have done those glue method for years on all sizes of quilts - even up to king. You only need to do a small section at a time.
Interesting! But, I was gifted a box of wonder clips, and I love them! They hold well, even just two layers of fabric, and they don't distort the binding like straight pins do on a thick binding. But if glue works for you, great!
I may use this idea to applique hexies onto fabric where clips wouldn't help, until I can stitch them.on. Haha, wish I had seen this before I bonded an iron on patch to one of.my favorite shirts. Its a bit too light, and noticeable, but, it's on there, now!!
Thanks for watching and thanks for the tips!
I’ve tried the school glue before and was always turned off by the lack of control of how much glue came out with the regular tip. So switched to Roxanne Glue Baste It, because of the tip included and loved it. It is a little spendy though, so I’ll definitely try Elmer’s again, once I purchase that tip.
I agree - I have found that glue is glue, and the school glue is inexpensive and works well. The tip is only $1.99 at hobby lobby. The link is in the description. Thanks for watching and thanks for your comment, Sharon!
Great tip thank you Mary. After gluing, have you tried sewing down the binding with 2 colours? So on your quilt, green on top and pink in the bobbin?
I don't have good luck - no matter how hard I try or which machine I use or how I set the tension, one color always seems to peek through on the other side. I'm sure it's possible - I just don't seem to be able to master that technique. I did use the same gray on both sides on this quilt (that I used when I quilted it) rather than the green I talked about and it worked well. Gray is VERY versatile. Thanks for watching!
@@joyfulandmerryquilting, yes, I also use gray thread a Lot! Blends in with so many colors!
I loved the binding tip but it was the green fabric and what i could see of the quilt that I really l loved. Could you share the name of the fabric and let us see the quilt?
THANK YOU!!! Actually the green fabric is the Sherri and Chelsi collection - Strawberry Lemonade - and the quilt will be a quilt-a-long introduced at our new Joyful and Merry Quilting Community Quilt Guild that we plan to launch on April 4th! Hope to see you there! You can register your email address on our website www.joyfulandmerryquilting.com and you'll be notified with the details.
Amazing
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
This is the method I use except I use Roxanne's glue baste it. What I found extremely helpful was the tip that you use with that special cap! The problem it Roxanne's glue bottles with the long spouts don't have that special tip cover and it can seal up inside the tip and not be useful anymore. Elmer's school glue is also more cost effective. If I ever find that tip and cover, I am switching to that and Elmer's. The other thing I like about glueing the binding down, is the finished look is so much better and no pins or clips to deal with. It is so much easier to stitch in the ditch.
Thank you for your comment. The link to the tip can be found in the video's description. I bought it at Hobby Lobby in the acrylic paint section. It's also available online. www.hobbylobby.com/Crafts-Hobbies/Craft-Paint-Stencils/Paint-Storage/Ultra-Fine-Writer-Tip/p/80772552
Thank you for the info. I didn't read down far enough to see the info.
Mary, I love your tutorials and absolutely get a lot from them. I went to my Hobby Lobby store looking for this tip for my Elmer’s glue bottle. Guess what, they have discontinued it. I even checked Amazon & EBay for it with no success. Do you have any other tips (ha ha) for this tip?
It may not be in your store, but it is available online and my store had it. www.hobbylobby.com/Crafts-Hobbies/Craft-Paint-Stencils/Paint-Storage/Ultra-Fine-Writer-Tip/p/80772552
Love this idea . Where can I buy that glue tip ? when I use the glue I sometimes get way to much glue on the fabric batting .that tip will be a game changer for me . Thank you so much for sharing this trick for the binding ❤
I got mine at Hobby Lobby in the acrylic paint section. You can also buy 1 oz. paint bottles on amazon with the tips as well.
Thank you so much .
I’m ready to bind. Did you use 1\4 inch while sewing the binding before turning?
Yes I did.
Very useful tip! I'm wondering if the glue can be used on the satin blanket bindings, perhaps on a lower iron setting? They are so slippery!
My first inclination would be to say yes - on a lower setting for only a couple of seconds, using the tip that delivers a very thin stream of glue. I haven't tried it, however, so I can't give you a definitive "yes". I would try it on a scrap piece of satin binding first. Please let me know your results if you give it a try. Thanks for watching!
Fabulous tip. I have always hand done my bindings but this looks like a better way to do it. What setting is the iron on, cotton?
I have it set on a high setting (I think it was Linen) and haven't had any problem with scorching.
@@joyfulandmerryquilting Thank you Mary for the info. Love your videos!!!
Where did you get the needle tips for the glue bottle? Thanks
I bought mine in the acrylic paint section of Hobby Lobby.
Thank you for sharing. Do you keep your iron set on high when you use this technique?
You're welcome and yes - I do have it set on the highest setting. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this video. I've been wanting to try the glue method. You have inspired me! You didn't mention how wide your binding strips are, could you please tell me that? 2.5 or less? Thanks.
The binding strips are 2.5 inches. Thank you for watching!
Where did you buy Crafter’s Collection?
It's a Hobby Lobby brand...I found the tips in the acrylic paint section.
I’ve just finished FMQ on my first try at glue basting with Elmer’s school glue. It certainly made the back neater, however I did find the hardness of the areas where the flu had set within the fabric altered the flow of my machine when quilting. Does anyone else find this? Am I doing something wrong?
It sounds like the glue may have been a bit thick in spots or it may have extended beyond the stitching line. I try to keep it above the stitching line so that when I anchor the folded binding to the quilt, it doesn't go through glue. Did you use a thin tip to dispense the glue? In addition you can dilute the glue with 3 parts glue and 1 part water. I didn't have any trouble with it causing problems with my stitching, but I made sure the glue wasn't close to where my needle would enter the binding.
@@joyfulandmerryquilting I glued the whole sandwich, not the binding. This is my biggest issue so far. My FMQ wasn’t quite as neat and smooth as I like, although the backing had no puckering, which was my aim. Haven’t done the binding yet, I don’t really have a problem with it, never pin or clip it, just feed it by hand as I go.
Ty Mary where can we find the glue tip you used. I’ve tried this but like you said my glue came out in globs I’d love try that tip.

Do you sell the applicator tip for the school glue? I have checked everywhere and can't find that particular one you're using. Thank you in advance for your reply.

I’m in North Carolina and sew in the basement. The glue gets thick when it’s cold so I had to microwave it for it to come out easier.
Great idea - I had no idea that was possible. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
Where do you buy the tip? Please…..
The link is in the video description. I purchased mine at Hobby Lobby in the acrylic paint section.
Where do I get one of those tips? I couldn’t find it at Michael’s

Where did you purchase the Crafter's Collection writer's tip?
I'm sorry I see you posted a link in an earlier enquiry! Thank you

One thing that wasn't clear to me from the video; are you glue basting just the corners, or all the way around the binding?
I baste all the way around the quilt, including the corners. Thanks for watching!
@@joyfulandmerryquilting Thank you so much - I'll have a quilt to bind soon and will try this

My opinion may be unpopular here but over time it will effect your machine and all that glue over time has to go somewhere. I don’t want to risk paying hundreds to get a perfect mitre corner.
Thanks for your opinion. I have been using washable glue for years on my quilts as well as pressing solutions. I have never had an issue with it causing hundreds of dollars of repairs due to glue collecting in my machine and ruining it. I take good care of my machine and clean it regularly. The needle doesn’t come in contact with anything mechanical in my machine other than the fabric as the needle passes into the quilt and then again when it comes out again. I don’t sew my seam directly on the VERY thin line of glue. The glue is placed just above the stitching line, and I stitch just below the stitching line. I caution you in the video to make your line very thing (using the tip) to keep it from seeping out. In addition, the glue is dry when I stitch, after pressing it with the iron. With all that being said, I believe this technique is safe for my machine. Of course, it’s totally your choice. Whatever works for you and whatever you are comfortable with, when it comes to binding a quilt.
