I love glue basting. I use it a lot when sewing binding strips together.
1.fold the corner of strip 1 back on a 45 degree angle and press.
2. glue the angle edge with a line of glue
3. lay strip two on the glue making a straight line.
4. press the two together
5. continue on joining strips.
6. at the sewing machine peel the binding back to reveal the crease made by the 45 degree press.
7. sew in the crease.
8. cut the ears off!
No slipping or trying to pin and sewing over pins!
