I don't have a ton of experience quilting. I have completed 4 quilts and sandwiched another ready for quilting. After the first one I read about the Elmer's glue trick on this board and figured since it's washable what have I got to lose? It worked great and I became a believer. My problem is that I probably use too much thinking that 'more is better' so I am trying with each quilt to use less. I never had a lot of experience with pins, but that first quilt really left me bleeding....if you know what I mean! LOL
