In various posts on this board mention has been made of using glue or glue stick to hold fabric in position in lieu of basting.

I'm wondering if what I'm considering would be an appropriate usage. I'm doing double piping around my blocks as I attach the sashing. Since I'm having trouble keeping the folded strips from slipping and don't really want to baste them if I can do it another way, I was thinking it might work to use the glue stick to hold them in place.
With now being all the back to school sales, it would be the ideal time to get glue sticks!

Has anyone tried this? How well did it work?
