EPP Basics - Glue Basting vs Thread Basting

[@wandachadwick1984]

I am just learning EPP. I started quilting in the 80s and discovered I am more productive with a project that takes very few tools and space. I hate gluing with the Elmer's glue sticks because it is so messy. So far, I prefer to thread baste but I do not sew through my templates, and I do two stiches on each corner. I think pressing helps but I put my basted shapes under heavy books to press instead of using the iron. This helps me feel relaxed which is the main goal of my EPP project.

I started as a thread baster but switched glue basting because I got tired of rethreading the needle. Definitely a glue baster now

Glue is easier when you have basal arthritis. I wasn’t able to hold the needle before surgery, but I could glue. I WILL be able to sew soon.

About how many 1” hexies do you think you can glue baste from one Sewline glue stick?

[@user-nd6ys3bo8p]

Right? In my state these glues stick are 10 bucks each.

It is not good for the finger to have such a tight fitting ring.
