I also use a glue stick...it's "slippery when wet"..so you can slide the points around to match , or with a 9 patch, line up the seams, then flip one side back to about 1/4" to see if it looks good...if it does, then I pinch my seams one more time, and move on to the next piece..by the time I'm ready to sew, it's dry enough. No pins, seams are lined up..makes everything go very quickly.
I also use a glue stick for machine applique, I can't stand to cut an oversized piece of fabric, only to have to trim a lot of it away after I sew down the outline..with a glue stick I can get away with using a much smaller piece of fabric.
