GLUE
#21
I have used glue with paper piecing to keep my fabrics from flopping the wrong way; to hold applique in place and to hold batting in place while doing little 4" quilt as you go blocks. "Whatever works" is my motto!

Using Glue is so much safer for those of us on blood thinners. I bought a very small bottle that I refill from the cheeper larger bottles. The small bottle is easy to handle and takes up less space on my ironing board.

There's nothing wrong with using things like glue to make things easier. If you don't want to, fine, but don't disparage those that choose to.

Glue or an acid free glue stick will save you lots of time if you are putting binding on a round object like a bib, no pins every inch required and you can make it perfect. Works wonderful for the Heart- shaped potholders that will drive you nuts. Really you can use it on a lot of different projects. I keep several sticks and bottles close by.

I have read about using glue before and haven't used it yet. I think I will try it as soon as I get this weeks groceries and can get some Elmers Glue Sticks. I think it will save me from dropping so many pins because of my carpal tunnel and arthritis. Thanks for the tip. :)
