when i delete the history after i have used to global stich the global stich does not work anymore and the nurbs patches seperate. I am worried becuase before you animate you have to delete the history? Does anyone have any solutions or am i doing something wrong?

You can try leaving the global stitch history on there, but it'll probably be a bit sluggish.

Otherwise, you'd need to paint the weights of the joints being used so that the patches don't come apart during animation. Kinda tedious.

global stitch is necessary for a patch model to be animatable [properly animated as if a single continious surface].
grouping them will not help.
