    I use glue when I'm sewing bias pieces together. Pieces match without effort and no bias stretching. The only problem is when I've sewed pieces together that don't belong to each other. They're a little harder to take apart.

    I use Elmer's School Glue to baste. I put the bottle of glue in a bowl with hot water for a few minutes. That thins the glue out. I use a tip with a small hole, and it the glue comes out like a spider web.

    I usually spray baste with 505 but I have glue basted too. I used my basting pins for counting stitches when I crochet. lol
