I would not recommend piecing with Glide for the following reasons.
Glide a bit heavy for piecing with so you may find your patchwork will not line up properly due to the thread taking up room in the seam allowance
Glide, being a poly, is a very slippery thread so if you chain piece it is highly likely that some of your stitching will come undone when you cut apart you chained units
Finally this is JMHO but Glide is such a pretty thread why hide it away in your seam allowance.
