Took the plunge!!
Picked up a bottle of Elmers School Glue last week. It sat on my desk staring at me so I finally got brave, took my quilt that still needed borders off the design wall and glued the first border on. NEVER, EVER, will I pin a border again. Oh my gosh, it was so nice to sew a border on and not get stuck with a pin in the process! Thanks to everyone for posting about the glue!!

When applying the glue just use little dots .... no need for a long stream of glue. This helps with the ripit-ripit

Just little dabs will do when you're glue-basting!
I've just snowballed 400 corners using 3 dabs of washable glue stick per corner square. What a joy! No pins, perfect stability...I love it! Glue stick basting is also doing a wonderful job on my Winding Ways blocks!

I'm curious about the glue too, does it really wash out completely from the quilts. A lady at out quilt club said that the school glue was just starch and therefore should not be left in the fabrics as well as starch in your stash as it will attract silverfish and then you'll have a horrible time getting rid of them.
