Default I doubt I'll ever use pins again

Glue basting is where it's at!!!

It's so much FASTER, for both patchwork and long borders. And the ACCURACY. The fabric doesn't shift AT ALL. No stupid little puckers, no having to 'ease in' any fabric. No having to fiddle with the end of the seam that usually veers off the 1/4 inch. It's easy to reposition if you need to. And no getting stabbed on my fingers and cuticles.

I sewed the top (twin size) very quickly using the glue. And I just finished glue basting the sandwich, but my hands are aching so much from squeezing that bottle. I'm going to pick up a carpenter's glue roller tomorrow.
