I love this method!!! I have done it many, many times and I have never had a problem.
I use regular white glue in a thin bead and I press it so it holds. I also let it sit for a bit so the glue is dry.
I have never had a needle break or had it gum up my needle.
I use this to machine stitch inthe ditch and I never miss the back side anymore!
Try it!
