My experience with Glue Basting.
#71
It is so much easier to use the Elmer's school glue. I recently bound a king size quilt; started with pins and said to DH to heck with this slaughter on my hands and arms, pulled them all out and used the glue! I used it all the way around the quilt and voila! It works! Now I plan to use it to help me match the seams, such a great idea!

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.

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.

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.
