I have a binding with glue method question
#13
I got a small (very small) bottle with just the right size tip on it at one of my LQS'. Also got a bottle with 3 or 4 tips at either Joann's or Michaels' can't remember which store. It was with the fabric paint stuff.

Thanks everyone for all the input and suggestions. I am in the middle of doing the binding on a Valentine wall hanging I'm making from my Craftsy.com Strip Paper Piecing class [LOVE it] and this binding method is so great! I am using the tip on the bottle and it is working out fine, I'll go with the tiny paint brush or toothpick when the bottle is more empty. I'll keep my eye out when I'm by a hobby or art store and the next time I'm at JoAnns. This board is so great, I'm a school media specialist [we used to be librarians] and I feel like this board is my personal Living Quilting Library. I know it's late for finishing a Valentine wall hanging, but hey at least it's still February!

Sharons daughter sells Sharons products. http://www.purpledaisiesllc.com/
I bought some of the overpriced tips from her and am very disappointed. They are plastic and their description says the tip and topper are connected but mine arent nor are the ones my friend bought. When running the tip on the fabric the tip was pushed down into the bottle. What a mess. I emailed her 3 times about them and with no reply. Now I just open the Elmers slightly and it works fine. I was able to buy some plastic bottles with fine metal tips from tooltron.com but the metal tips are hard to clean.
QUOTE=Cybrarian;4989645]Sorry, I'm sure the answer I'm seeking is somewhere on this board but I can't find it. I am going to use the Sharon Schamber's glue method for binding. I have the Elmer's Washable School Glue-got it at Michael's- couldn't find a tip to use anywhere, and the employees had no ideas after we determined nothing in the cake decorating area worked. I understand she used to sell them on her website, but doens't anymore. Anyone have a suggestion as to where I can get the tip? I know you can use the glue sticks, but I am concerned I will get too wide a line of glue. The very narrow line that she is able to get with the tip seems the most desirable. Any help is greatly appreciated![/QUOTE]

I filled a ink cartraige filler bottle with elmer's glue and it works great! I took off the tip and washed the squeeze bottle out real well. Filled it with glue and squeezing the bottle is very easy. You get little tiny drops and control is great.

This is my suggestion too. Otherwise quilt expos often have vendors who sell them.
I did find this on the web:

Though I think this following one is what you want. I bought something similar from L McPhee at a quilt expo many years ago and love the set. Couldn't find it on her site tonite.
