Elmer's School glue is great! I use it for basting. And i use the stick version for matching seams, EPP, and sometimes when I am binding a quilt. For medical reasons I haven't been able to do a lot of quilting and the glue sticks lost a lot of their stickiness. So I won't be stock piling the glue sticks anymore. Will just buy them in packs of three - they aren't that expensive. The liquid school glue seems to stay okay - but you need to shake it up from time to time because it will separate after a few months.
