I use Aleene's No-Sew Fabric Glue. Temporary hold for basting & stitching. Bonds fabric for permanent hold until washed. Just a little dab hold and there is no waiting or having to iron to dry. It sticks like glue, so be sure you have it right before you finger press it together. You can separate the items if there isn't too much glue applied, but you have to be gentle or it may tear the fabric.
