Janetlmt sent me a pack of the glue sticks...the purple that are for fabric or paper. I hope to never go back to using those pins ever again. I picked up a 4 pack at the Dollar Store today for $2. I love using glue instead of the pins. To me it lines up better and it doesn't bulk up like it does with the pins sometimes.

I recently made a "10 Min Block" quilt and someone suggested glue basting the sides of the curved diamonds down prior to top stitching them down.
I used clear Elmer's glue (washable) and the point of a wooden skewer to put *dots* of glue in the necessary areas. Pressed with a dry iron to set/dry and those curves were crisp as crisp can BE! They were a DREAM to top stitch! I know had I tried to pin the curves down they would have been wavy or slightly distorted, but it was the cleanest looking top stitching I've EVER DONE!
