February is Binding and Batting Month here at BAQS and this week we are talking about Glue Binding. This topic can be, well, let’s say people have FEELINGS about it and I will out myself as one is is TOTALLY in the glue binding camp especially when it comes to show quilts or when I have lost my freaking mind and decided on doing something fancy or with some crazy fabric.. glue makes it all easier!
The holy grail of glue binding is Sharon Schamber and I think everyone knows here amazing Glue Binding video on Youtube but if the rock you have been living under was extra large I link it here for you! SHARON SCHAMBER GLUE BINDING VIDEO
I also love to use Glue when I am looking for freaky exact piecing … Check out this video my Christy! Glue Basting your Seams
And much like If you give a Mouse a Cookie you will then need all the things to make this a huge success … for me that is two things.. Fork pins and glue tips! I talked about both of these things in my live on Monday morning on FB and I have some links for you and a giveaway!!!
For the best glue tips my go to is Christy at Purple Daisies.. she is Sharon’s daughter and an amazing artisan in her own right. She has the perfect glue tips for the blue back – Elmers Washable School glue bottles. Christy has been so kind as to issue as discount code just for BAQS peeps!

Now, on to the fork pins… these are not well known but they are a game changer when you have items that need an extra degree of security so you can keep things crazy well aligned! These can be hard to find but Michelle at Sewing Machine Artistry has them in stock for us!
