I know after reading what so many have said about basting a large quilt, that I will definetely be trying it. I know it worked fabulously for smaller lap quilts and wall hangings. Plus, I know I will definetely be using it to match seams instead of pinning for a long, long time. LOL

Just want to let anyone posting know that I am stepping away for awhile to do some sewing. Will check back and respond in a little while. Have fun trying this method!

Thanks for the great idea. I use Elmer's glue during my binding process but have never considered using it for lining up seams on blocks! I will try it!

I use a glue stick on the first pieces in a line up to hold them down while paper piecing, but Never thought of doing that during regular quilting to hold seams together before sewing.... brilliant idea! Can't wait to try it! Thank you for sharing your handy trick Brenda!

Those are some nice points you have there !!
I must have missed hearing the tip to glue baste like that...I have been using it to do my bindings. I'm too cheap to buy the nice glue tip so I squirt a little on a scrap of fabric and run a pin tip through it and use a miniscule amount. I'll have to try that next time I'm piecing.

What a great idea! Your photos were very clear and very helpful. Thanks for sharing the idea.

I had never thought about using glue for the binding (or anywhere in the quilt for that matter - before reading this). So I have now watched Sharon Schamber's video on how she glue bastes her binding - and I am wanting to try glue on both piecing and the binding.

That nice little glue tip - I have never seen that before. Where does one find that at? Looks very helpful in regulating the amount of glue that comes out.

I love glue basting! I've used it to hold small quilt sandwiches together while quilting too.

and also to Chicca: This is the advice I was giving when I asked the same question http://www.quiltingboard.com/blocks-...t159381-4.html

Unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to set your preferences as a default. At least I haven't figured it out, but that wouldn't be surprising for me.

thank you so much for the tip! I am making some log cabin blocks and am sure this would help with them.
