I recently used Elmer's School washable glue to hold the binding on those chicken placemats I made. I did find some hard spots as I sewed the binding in place but not enough to make me regret using the glue. What a difference from all those pins that stick you! The hard spots were from me using too much glue, I think, so it was basically my fault. Haven't used glue to baste a quilt together but I probably will at some point. May thin it a bit.
