Thanks for the reminder about using glue. I am repairing some clothing for my SIL and several pieces are really stretchy, slippery knits. I botched one already, sewing it crooked. DUH! I completely forgot about the Elmer's.....

I would try a glue that is as close to Elmer's School Glue as possible. It should be washable, acid free, nontoxic. Apparently Elmer's is made with starch and that's why it works best for us.

That's already happened. Roxanne Glue-Baste-It does the same thing but costs more. The advantage is it comes with the thin metal tip like Sharon Schamber uses. I've found the regular container of Elmer's puts more glue on me than on the project but the thin metal tip is great. An alternative is an Elmer's Glue Pen. The only place I've been able to find it is Walmart's and the tip isn't as thin as the one on Roxanne's but is much neater than the regular Elmer's.

Try putting your glue sticks in a ziploc bag and keeping it in your fridge until you need them!!!!
