I use it to baste my binding to my quilt before I take it to the machine to stitch it down. Saves me from having to pin it, getting pricked by the pins too. I also use it at times when I need to match up stubborn seams. A dab of glue, press with iron and no pinning and I can sew right over it though I try to aim the glue in the seam area so my needle doesn't have to go thru the glue. I've been using Elmer's Glue for years now and when they have the school sales in the early Fall I stock up on Elmer's glue.
