Not at all stupid!
Some people here are using it to glue binding in place before doing the final sewing. It holds the binding together better than pins. Some people use it in place of pins to get seams to match. In these cases you use a dot of glue or a thin line of glue, then press with an iron to secure it. The glue washes out with the first wash of the quilt.
Others are using the glue to baste their quilt sandwich. They dribble the glue onto the batting, then smooth the top or backing into place. This is used instead of thread or pins or spray baste to secure the three layers for quilting.
