You can use Elmer's School Glue to hold fabric temporarily while you sew it, just use a tiny drop and heat set with your iron. Sharon Schambers shows on her free videos how to use it when putting binding on. Some people also use it to match seams instead of using pins. The school glue is a starch product, so it washes out when you wash the quilt.
Elmer'sGlue has to be my next most used item in the sewing room. Its so simple and so easy and works better than any pin I could use. It was the best lesson I ever learned. But the great thing about this craft is that it changes constantly. Although the blocks pretty much stay the same through the years the techniques are always evolving. =) Some for the better and some not..but its great that people do things that make each their own. And its such an emotional craft. I couldn't imagine my life without it. =)
