This is not the only thread that this has happened on.
I also see no reason to jump all over a person that does not want to try it - or does not like or want to try any particular pattern or technique.
However, back to trying glue - I haven't tried it - until I have, I probably should not make any judgments about how well the technique does - or does not - work.
There seem to be a lot of skilled quilters that do use it.
My main concerns about using glue/paste are:
Would it come out? Would it stain or discolor the fabrics? Would it be hard to sew through?
Using glue might make my finished products better. As is, I think they turn out quite well without using glue.
A lot of techniques/processes we take for granted now are relatively new - and still criticized by some - such as rotary cutting, piecing by machine, quilting by machine, etc.
