Does it bleed through? Can you easily sew through it? :D:D:D

I just started to glue baste so I can practice FMQ. I bought Elmer's school glue that disappears when washed. I use it sparingly, tiny little dabs where I would have put a safety pin for basting. So far so good. I would like to try spray basting next. Have had no problems though with the glue.

I have used glue sticks (washable only) and Roxanne's glue baste -- the glue baste has a finer point to get into small places, but for a quick swipe the glue sticks work well. I generally buy the glue sticks at Costco. I have heard that keeping the glue sticks in the refrig preserves them --- especially if it hot. Since my sewing room is in the basement, I don't have to worry.

I use the Elmer's school glue sticks....the glue is purple, dries clear and washes out completely!.....love it for binding....and better yet, it's on sale now at walmart for $.40 per 2 stick package! I stocked up....LOL.
