I've used Elmer's Washable glue when matching seams and it works very well. But it means (for me at least) standing at the ironing board, applying the dot of glue, ironing it dry, and moving on to the next seam. If I can match them by pinning I don't bother with the glue. But you seem to be having problems with the pinning so you might try the glue. Just make sure the seams really match, though, because pulling the glued seam apart is not fun, either.
