Much easier and no hard places if some of the glue doesn't get smoothed out. If any gets on my table or floor it wipes right up with water. Glue basting has been around for decades. Many who make show quilts will glue the quilt together before sewing to get perfect blocks, perfect bindings, perfect miters, perfect applique, perfect everything.
Why spray toxic fumes in your home when Elmer's Washable School Glue has been around for years and years. There are several "methods" available, Google has videos for those who are more visual. Yes, it dries, no it does not gum up your needle or machine. I use it for hoopless hand quilting. Would not use anything else.
