Pinless piecing is possible. Get the Starter Kit of Seam Align Glue & Starch Pen Here: store.thequilts... Quilters, here's are Exciting New Products that take the Pins out of Precision Piecing.
While I do not use their products, I think that glue basting is essential to my work processes; and I've appreciated seeing them demonstrate their products. I just use Elmer's glue using a precision tip. I encourage everyone to try glue basting. It is distortion free; stabilizes bias edges so that there is NO stretching when you sew or handle further; allows you to phase your quilt production as you can glue baste pieces and stack for sewing; use your machine seam guide for the seam allowance you require for your piece without resorting to hacks to accommodate pins; spend less time with seam ripper as you have pre-engineered the fitting of pieces. An aside from comments: I'm unclear of the oft-quoted folklore about starch and glue attracting bugs. I've never seen a bug on my quilt--and I'm not overly fastidious in cleaning. If you are worried about bugs, then secure your quilts so that bugs don't get to them. Cotton is a food stuff for some bugs, as is paper, dust, wool.
Hola Alex, this was great. I'm always telling myself that there aren't any new notions that I would need... I was wrong. This is GREAT! Some quilters have amazing husbands don't you think? 😊
Spray starch will and does 😢 I know because my wool pressing mat is now brown from spray starch and I’m not sure how to clean it? But I doubt this product does as you’re only applying it to the seam
