Have you heard of Glue Pinning? It's great!

This Gentle Hold glue is water-soluble, fabric-safe, and can be used in many different ways. Here I use it to pin my fabric together
Seam Align Glue, by Acorn Precision Piecing Products, is available at most quilting and sewing shops
The quilt in the background is in my book sewveryeasy.po... and here is the video • Flowers on the Half-Lo...

[@randibgood]

I bought a set of three bottles with that tiny applicator needle on it and I mix Elmer's school glue and warm water. Washes out in one wash and I always wash a quilt, or anything I sew, before gifting it. Usually much cheaper than the "special" glues for quilting. All 3 bottles and a big bottle of glue for the price of 1 bottle of the specialty glue.

[@SewAndTellwithDori]

Nice! Can do the glue piecing while watching a TV program for sewing later. Won't have to heat set the glue since the glue will have already dried, or can be heat set with a small travel iron. I also like how accurately the quilt blocks come out and the seam intersections match up. Brilliant!

[@roxannetoufexis4487]

I love this idea! Prep time is good, then you can focus on sewing when the light is good During the day time!

[@65leapfrog]

You have such a warm, relaxing voice. I would love to have you as a teacher in person, but these videos are great too!

[@janetsfollies2406]

I bought this a few years ago.... it was 'stupid and grrrr'.... turns out I was using it all wrong!!! I tried it last night with your info and it worked awesome!!! So glad I bought two LOL!!!

[@janstewart2601]

This product is a quilting game changer! I use this glue for all my piecing. I just ordered a gallon of the pressing solution...I love it that much!

[@deborahfitzer6877]

I absolutely love this glue! Makes my sewing so accurate.

[@suzisaintjames]

4:30 thank you. I knew about glue basting, but never thought about using it on long strips... Like BORDERS! my borders started going wonky and the project went UFO. Now, between heavy starch and glue basting... I'm going to tame those borders on that quilt restoration! Yippee! ❤🌅🌵😷

[@roxannetoufexis4487]

I have used this glue and it is awsome! 👍 At first it seemed to be an expensive purchase for the amount of product, but soon realized the joy of sewing without pins with wonderful results. The pressing solution is an excellent product, also providing nicely flattened pressed blocks.

[@mekalb5160]

Thank you for this idea; some days pinning is a pain..

[@suzisaintjames]

I've heard glue basting is great on curves too. Lots of people use it on English Paper Piecing. ❤🌅🌵😷

[@roxannetoufexis4487]

Yes! This is one of my main uses for these tiny glue dots. Works great! Prep lots of pieces ahead of sewing time. No straight pins! Exact glue placement instead of a glue stick. Smooth curves and sharp corners! No pin pricks! No blood on your fabric! It's a winner! Why wouldn't everyone piece with this modern-day wonder!

[@lunasmum6869]

Clever idea which would be useful for all kinds of seams. It will save a lot of wonky seams! I'll have to see what I can find here in UK. Thank you. I've had a look and yes, we can buy it here :-)

[@beverleybrowning3480]

I use glue basting for applique, paper piecing, and for glue basting my bindings (white school glue or applique glue in a similar bottle) but have not done it for piecing. Will definately give it a go for this process, especially for bias edges! I rarely pin because I invariably stab myself, lol! Happy sewing

[@karenlea5292]

What a wonderful demonstration!

[@lw7967]

Thank you for showing others how to use glue. Love all your videos & hope I can add to this. I have been using Elmer's Washable School Glue for years. I glue on my entire binding on a quilt then machine sew from the front because the back is perfectly glued in place including perfectly mitered corners. Works great to glue on a pocket then sew it on, no bulky pins. Glue in a zipper before sewing. Star points are glued first, perfect points. Matching fabric stripes & designs before sewing two pieces together as for borders. Great to glue on appliques before machine stitching on. You will find a ton of uses for glue. I am sure this glue is wonderful but I buy mine for 50 cents during school supply sales. It all washes out. I would rather spend my money on other fun supplies, most of which you have shown us! Thank you very much for your videos. You are appreciated! I am just cheap!😄

[@jackietucker8942]

I have used glue for years. Piecing, keeping binding corners in place, and those tricky little seams

[@maggiehallinan1771]

Great video Laura!! Thanks so much! It’s hard to find this product in stock online, but I finally found a place to order. 👍🏼 Beautiful pattern and fabric too!!

[@thebratqueen]

I was skeptical about glue basting when I first heard about it. Once I tried it, though, I was a convert. The precision you get with it can't be beat.

[@gingerlawson9612]

Just order some from my quilt shop that is so cool, So many way to use this besides quilting.

[@doreensherk287]

Wow, I will have to apply that method. Acorn glue seems better than the Roxanne glue. Thanks for sharing another great way to sew

[@sharonlalli1414]

[@landarogers9926]

This glue is awesome. Better than Elmer's or any other glue I've ever tried.

[@CraftyLoops]

This is genius!!!! Thank you so much for sharing, It drives me bonkers when the fabric slides slightly. I'll definitely be doing this with quilting from now on. Thank you so much for sharing. Lee :)

[@giodrakes]

Oh I love it! Thanks for showing how you use it, and the fact that it doesn't stretch the fabric even if you have to reposition it.

[@ronhorner4060]

This is fantastic, thank you so much. I have considered this type of pinning but never had a proper glue.

[@laureneeheman5981]

The glue dots on the jelly roll strips will be great! Even with a walking foot the top strip slips. I can't wait to try it. Thanks!

[@Trixy8521]

I've never thought about gluing seams. I converted to glue basting a awhile back. Interesting. I like the idea of gluing points.

[@njefferson1926]

It's really great and then you don't have to worry about sewing over pins or fabric moving. And it takes the headache out of having to keep pinning. :) It is really a game changer.

Great tutorial! I have been using glue basting for my bindings for years! I use Elmers school glue in a squeeze bottle with a tiny tip just like yours and follow a fabulous tutorial by Sharon Schamber! I bought my container at Michael’s or Walmart a few years ago, in a package of 3.

[@janetflint8202]

I've been using glue sticks when needed instead of pins for awhile now, pins distort. I can make perfect flying geese. This way too.

[@MrKirby365]

This is amazing! I might use this to finish up my QAYG quilt, using pins on 1 inch joining strips is difficult and worrying about loss of accuracy is nerve wracking.

[@njefferson1926]

You'll love it! Seam Align is so much easier and more accurate than pins. :)

[@waynemis101]

Thank you for a very informative tutorial. Judy

[@fredaphilpot2546]

Got my glue on order ! Thanks for the tip.

[@suzisaintjames]

There's a lot of glue basting options (including Elmer's School glue). The secret is the tiny, tiny dots of glue for easy release or basting. If you are sure that's where you want it a thicker bead of glue is more permanent (or VERY difficult to pull apart). But using a washable glue (like Laura's using or Elmer's) means that if it's difficult to pull apart, soak in water to dissolve the glue. Some washable glues will take washing (not just a soak) to dissolve the glue. Also, some glues are more needle friendly than others. So, if your glue, isn't, place your glue just inside the seam allowance. 💜🌞🌵😷

Hello from one crafting channel to another!

[@nancymiller349]

I watch your videos all the time I'm noticing you use an Oliso iron. I have had the worst luck with them. The company is pretty easy to deal with however I seem to go through one every 6 months. They start leaking and it's the only iron I have ever used that builds up these little white sandy things that spit out of it like dust. It's been horrible. Just wondering what kind of luck you've had with yours? I love the automatic lift feature so dummy me keeps buying them. I also like the weight of it. And I also like the way it feels in my hand. Such a shame. I wish they could figure out why they leak so much. One of them that they sent me after I had a problem with another one arrived all rusted around the edge. Contacted them immediately and sent pictures and they sent me another one. 3 months later it was leaking. I have finally given up. Back to my fifteen dollar iron I have had for 20 years.
