Default Any tips for sewing a rag quilt together?

So, the other quilt I am in the middle of is a rag quilt with two layers of flannel, and one layer of dimple plush fabric. All layers were the same size. I've sewn a cross on each square, and sewn ten rows which are now ready to be joined. Obviously the sewing squares together is six layers of fabric at the seams, so far so good. But now I need to join the rows, and it's proving trickier than I thought! I have sewn two rows together (twelve layers at the corner meeting of seams) which I managed with one of those tools for going over bulky seams, but am now having to rip it out because the plush fabric has shifted about so there's insufficient caught in the seam between the two rows! Can I use the Elmer's school glueI have heard so much about on the plush fabric to keep it in place?? And is there an easy method for going over the bulkiest part of the seams?? Or am I just doing it wrong??

Thanks!!
