I use it ALL the time specially for applique, needle turned or raw edge. I also use the Glue stick, the purple one and then lightly iron it till it disappears. Never a problem, never gums the needle. Never alters the feel or texture.

I love using a glue stick. I think it is not as messy as the glue bottle, although I have used both and they work wonderful.

Using Elmers School glue Instead of Pins
Love, love, love using this technique. I always struggled in getting perfectly matched seams and well-constructed, well made bindings. But now? Very attainable every time!! Learned this technique from Sharon Schamber videos...if you haven't seen them...please do so. Connie in California

I have used the school glue stick for years. I first started using it to place the top hoop where I wanted it for my machine embroidery. Was a lot cheaper than the one that they sold for that purpose. I have used it in place of pins except on curves. Pins are better there. It has my thumbs up ! Never had any proplem washing it out.

I have and do use this method , so far no problems.

Very interesting thread. I've heard about using glue but never done it.
|
I use it and love it.

this is new to me and is going to be so helpful to my residents in our quilting program! thank you for the info :)
|
Wow lots of great info here. I've only used glue in my bindings but I'm going to start trying it in other areas. Thanks for all the great info. :)

I insert a "long" pin in the tip of my metal glue bottle top/tip and it never clogs.
