I was thinking the same thing. I had a bottle of what I *thought* was washable glue, but after my disaster, I double-checked the label, it said "Elmer's School Glue" but nowhere did it say "washable". I threw it out because who needs that??!?! Lol.

Nope. It's actually faster and more accurate, which is why I glue instead of pin. I use a tiny drop, about the size of the head of a glass pin. As has been said, you can dry it with the tip of a hot iron in seconds. When I'm making miniature quilts, or something where I want a high degree of accuracy, gluing is more reliable than pinning, because the pins can shift as I sew.
