very interesting and the glue too, might have to give it a try.

Thanks for the tip....will try it on the project I am working on.....

Wow! Love this tip! Thank you thank you for sharing!

Thanks for the tip. It makes sense, and I'll definitely give it a try. Sewing long seams is not one of my favorite parts of quilting. No way around it, though, and anything that will give more accuracy is worth the extra effort to me.

Thanks for the tip, just when you think you know it all, you find you don.t! I pin every seam intersection.

One more idea, while this is a great one, i find that if you line up the center of the strips and the sew out from each center that can help too. If your center blocks are aligned, you don't notice the outside as much, but if the center is off that makes the whole quilt look off.

jitkaau, you are evidently a much better sewer than I am. I think these ideas are primo.

My sentiments exactly!!

Great tip! Thanks!

I believe Carol Doak uses a technique like that.

Hmmm, I'm almost at the end of assembling blocks for Easy Street and thinking I might try putting a dot of glue on some of those pesky intersections when I put the rows together. I do have the Roxanne's with the super fine tip that is used for applique, so it'd be easy to give this a try.

This is a great tip and especially for a newbie as myself. So, you'll chuckle at my literal mind - I saw Tp thinking
T.P. and wondered how in the world toilet paper would work with quilting - maybe the extra strong Charmin??? ....
well, duh! Like we don't all mispell from time to time - what's a missed I between friends. I still didn't get it until the posts and "good tip" was stated. :-) If we don't laugh at ourselves, it's a sad day - not a sad day and hopefully at least
a partial smile for anyone reading this. AND - great TIP.

I was having a hard time remembering all the wonderful tips I've gotten here so I keep a "top 10 tips list" taped to the cabinet behind my sewing machine. Then when I'm ready to work on my quilting, I glance thru the list. I also keep a "to do when sewing list". The 1st item - talk out loud as I go. This has saved me from doing something stupid so many times.

This is just an incredibly helpful tip!!!Thank you sew much for posting!!!

I also think these tips are excellent. I rip out as I am a perfectionist when it comes to the seams so I will definitely try the basting technique as well as the glue method, also. Thank you both for submitting them. Piece and blessings, Vicki

I am new to this group but this will definitely be my first tip to save. Why? Because I actually understand it!!! :rolleyes: Dorothy

This is a wonderful tip... I missed it before so thanks for bringing it up again..

I was taught to do that in my first quilting class. They called it a "quilt tack". Now I do basically the same thing with no tacks and no pins. I use the elmers glue. If they are off a little I just pull apart and reglue. Much faster and gives the same control as the quilt tack.

Thanks for the great tip!
