The best way is to use a special fabric adhesive. Frank's Fabrics can recommend the best one for the job...they also sell a training video that teaches technique. Or ask Baer.
As far as connecting the liner to the moulding, I join the liner first and then have the frame wrap around it with offset clips to put them together. Some people cut their liner with the frame, but I don't....

Welcome to thge "G', Fat Apple!
As far as the liner to the frame:
If the liner exceeds the rabbet depth then I usually use wire brads and toenail the liner into the frame. If the liner is shorter than the rabbet depth, then I usually use small wire brads and fit the liner into the frame similarly to the way you'd fit up a picture making sure that the brads go in deep so that the artwork/mat does not touch the brads. If the artwork would touch the brads I then either toenail the liner in if the frame allows or place spacers to set the artwork off of the brads.
It is better not to toenail the stretcher of a painting into the frame although I admit that I sometimes will do this. Otherwise, I use offset clips available from Larson Juhl (basically mirror hangers) in various sizes. sometimes they need to be reshaped to work properly.
If the frame is so deep that the artwork can fit within the frame, then I'll use wire brads and fit like any other artwork.

Clips as well!

Multi-point (yellow gun) framing point and screws.

Used offset clips if extended above, or regular points if the liner set inside the frame. Then got the multipoint gun.
Now use the multipoint for setting in liner and canvas.
