    Don't know why we haven't thought of things like this before now. I just started using washable elmers glue for current project that I am working for basically the same thing. I put a dab on the ends and where the seams meet up and then use a pin as a back up. Though I'd share another way to try matching up seams.

    I've been sewing through the matching area with a basting stitch on machine until they match up well, then sewing the seam and removing the basting stitches. Only on the most complex blocks. Similar to what you are doing. Great minds!

    It's the simplest ideas, like this one, that make for the best, most useful suggestions. Thanks so much.
