Elmer's school glue can be used for layering a quilt, to match up seams, to attach binding to the quilt among other uses. Try Googling these words, Elmer's School Glue for quilting. Once the web sites pop up, scroll down a bit and you will see some great websites. There are useful tutorials, too.
Elmer's glue does dry hard, so be sure to wash the quilt before using or gifting it. Also, if doing a wall hanging and it is not washed afterwards, the glue sometimes can show through to front.
I love using it to load on the batting and the quilt top once the backing is put on the frame. I use a very thin line of glue across the back of the top edges for the batting and the top (where they would normally be pinned to the backing). Then they are pressed down (by hand) and allowed to dry before quilting.
