Even if the glue dries , the friction of the needle at high speed would soften the glue again again, wouldn't it?
zozee: When you glue baste, you don't cover the entire thing. You just apply a few thin lines of thinned out glue. It doesn't affect either my Bernina or my Handiquilter Sweet 16 quilter. The glue must be the cheap school glue that washes out completely.
I had used washable glue in heirloom sewing to keep trims in place, so using it in a quilt wasn't a serious challenge for me. I started using it to hold down binding while machine stitching it before I used it to baste the sandwich.
