Panel Pull Installation

I hate using pins when sewing

. I disdain

installing them and then removing them right before the feed dogs pull them under the presser foot. Yes I know they help keep things in place and straight and aligned together... but still.

I hate using them but I could not figure out a way to keep the panel pull patches in place while stitching the panel pulls to the tarp. Man that silnylon is some slippery stuff - especially when it it on piece on top of another.

There was just now way around having to use pins and this made me very

until it was mentioned that I could glue the panel pulls in place and then sew them on the next day.

WOW!!! Why didn't I think of that

?

Fantastic idea! How does it work?
check out the videos below and you tell me.

as far as I'm concerned

No Pins here. It helps greatly to have the grids lined up correctly on the fabric, so that way you can use the grid to align the panels. I focus on getting that first stitch in the right place, then line up the patch to the grid and just hold it in place until I am done with that row, then rotate fabric and repeat. So, far, they have all lined up.
