Never thought of this but it is worth a try.

Never heard of this, but sounds like a good idea to me. I have a bunch of quares cut out. I'll have to try this.

You post, then post again, and keep repeating. You post often enough, they consider you a regular.

I do that a lot but never knew it had a name. A little best press and a hot iron and you hardly need the pins.

sometimes I do that to put blocks together so that they won't shift when sewing, especially if it is one of those designs where you use 3 different fabrics, then cut and swap.

I've just started throwing on a tiny dab of school glue to the sewing line al al Sharon Schamber. I heat set the glue so I guess I do this, more or less.

I'm happy to hear that other people don't like pins. I thought I was the only one. I usually "finger-pin". I think I'll give your program a try. Thanks.
