Today I finished my first quilt using glue basting. I used the non-toxic, washable Elmer's glue.
As I quilted, I kept thinking it would be a good idea that I may try for sewing 2 pieces of fabric. Lay one piece on a table RSU(right side up) and put some glue dots at the corners and, if needed, (larger pieces) at a few place along the edges. Lay the next piece to be joined on top of it (RSD) and press the glued areas together with your hands. Then it won't slip while sewing the edges together. Would be great with precuts or cut pieces, wouldn't it? Might even work for joining blocks into rows and joining rows together.
Is this a good idea or is my poor mind missing something?
You would have to be sure that the pieces are laid together correctly because 'unsewing' would be awful if not impossible.
Edited to apologize because I didn't read all the replies and missed tutt's suggestion about school glue. My bad.
