Yes it makes sense, and yes it helps with points and matching seams. Here's how I do it:
I take a pin and stick it through the first patch, right where I want the seams or points to match, then I line it up with the second patch. Stick the pin in my ironing board pad so it won't move around or shift. Gently lift up the top layer, add a couple of dots of washable glue, push the fabric straight down on the pin so the 2 layers are lined up correctly. Then press to dry the glue. At that point I can sew my quarter-inch seam with confidence. I can use a stiletto to gently pull apart the tiny dots of glue, if I need to, they pop apart easily.
