Target has 6 small disappearing purple school glue sticks for $1 this week. Do you think that it is OK to use in quilting? Says that it washes out, but was just wondering if the purple would somehow transfer to the fabric.

Guess you could try it out on a small scrap of fabric to see how it goes.
If it dries clear, it might be ok to use.
But wouldn't use it on a whole quilt till it was put to the test.

I found some white washable glue sticks at Office Max a few days ago in the glue stick section that were on sale for about $.69 for packages of 5. They were the store brand. There was a giant size stick too, but I decided the smaller ones were better for glue basting 1/4" size seams. They had lots of permanent and the disappearing purple ones, so I had to hunt around for these.

i have used the purple disappearing ones and they do wash completely out even after ironing the seams. i have never had a problem. they were not $.10 this week in my walmart though. i wish i could find $0.10 glue sticks.
