I have a sashiko machine and want to stitch down patches against a background cloth (like Wabi Sabi). Is there something that will hold them in place that I can remove later? (Not pins or safety pins, something I can stitch over).

Heat 'n Bond Feather Lite - it's fusible both sides (used for appliqued)
-
Cant remove two sided fusi (or any fusi actually)
Why do you want to remove it?
-
I don't want any stiffness.

505 spray glue for quilting

Pritt stick. It will wash out.
-
Fusible wash away
fusible washaway stabilizer

I've got one of these

it's not supposed to gum up your needle so ok for machine sewing.

I've used that for appliqué @maliw. Works a treat.

Washaway Wondertape (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Collins-Wash-Away-Wonder-Tape/dp/B00KQ1B6GA) - does not gum up the needle and it's repositionable.
Not a big fan of using pins when sewing and I use this stuff for all sorts of temporary holding jobs eg. holding zips in place, really fiddley placements, Holding hems in place for stitching on unstable fabrics, etc.
Also I use it with my machine embroidery hoops (on the bottom of the inner hoop).
Love the stuff.

Thanks for the suggestions.
