I wouldn't bother with glue. Not only do the sources specifically imply that it wasn't used, but if you stab and shoot at two armours of the same number of layers, one glued and one quilted, the quilted armour actually provides better protection than the glued sample. Glue also negates one of the main reasons for using linen in the first place - it allows the body to breathe.
