Now there you go. I hadn't thought about that. Unfortunately it's not permanent, but it would hold it in place enough to go back over it. Thanks for the useful idea.
I heard about it a couple of years ago and honestly I thought it was a dumb idea until I saw how people was using it to put their binding on, however when I tried it, my results were less than great. I sew my binding to the front side and hand stitch it to the back, but I thought why not give it a try. Anyway I sewed the binding on using the fusible thread in the bobbin, did great, but when I went to press the other side down to get it to fuse so that I could machine sew it, the fusible thread melted which caused my binding to come loose from the quilt. I'm wondering if it might be better in a serger in the bottom looper with having 3 other threads to help secure it to the quilt. In the meantime, this was a quick and easy solution.
That would also help if/when your stitches come out after many years of use. Great idea! Thanks so much.

Never knew there was such a thread! Thank you!
