    I agree with you. I pin only what I have to. I was watching a episode of The Quilt Show and I watched how the host had put about 10 pins in a 8 inch block, I thought wow! That's a lot of pins. But, that was what she wanted, so to each their own. When I'm making a drunkard's path, I use 2 pins.

    Julie, I'm with you on this! When I am "building" a hummingbird or flowers with multiple colors, I use the school glue and everything is where is needs to be when I sew it down. I've been using glue for years, but after reading the comments our sisters have put up on QB I think I will expand my glue useage even more. Pins have there place, but a small dot of glue is even better. I always wash my quilts before gifting so any glue is gone. It takes so very little that it is hard not to "over glue"... but if you do you can always wipe it off with a rag, or with a wet rag if you feel it HAS to come off. I don't have that problem anymore. A little dab will do it!
