When I was at the International Quilt Festival back in November, I listened to a short lecture by Sue Heinz of Kismet Quilts.

She is a vivacious speaker and, in her short presentation, she provided many ideas for making your quilts better and better!

One of the things that she talked about was using glue in your quilts, except she wouldn’t use the word “glue”. Instead she “Elmer-ed” her quilts!!

She suggested that we check out Sharon Schamber’s video for using Elmer to obtain perfect binding.

I started watching the first video (approximately 10 minutes), then discovered that it went straight into another 10 minute video and finally into a third.

BUT, in those three videos, Sharon presented many great ideas for perfecting your quilt binding, and I thought that you might enjoy it as well.

Start here……

….and it should take you into the other videos.

While at the show, I purchased a fine-tip that will fit on the Elmer bottle, but you could also use a bottle similar to these…..

I do want to try this technique at some point, but first I have to get a quilt finished!!!!

If you have applied binding in this manner before, please let me know your experience.
