If someone said those words to me, I would interpret the seeded to mean WITH and the pitted to be WITHOUT.
Which makes no sense. But I doubt that I'm correct.
So much for higher education. :mrgreen:[/quote]
IMHO you are correct or at least that's how I would interpret.

"Seedless" grapes are born with NO seeds, while seeded grapes are born WITH seeds. "Pitted" prunes have the pits removed. Inconsistency is such a lovely part of the English language, isn't it!
Kudos once again to our informative board members; through a link above I just found and ordered Aleene's Quilters' Kit of glue bottle and needle tip, with cover and clean-out wire. Available with or without fabric glue (I ordered one of each). Will likely refill with school glue. I love this board and its many helpful suggestions!

I don't like the pieces and chips I get from glue sticks. I use Elmer's Blue Gel Glue. Found out about it in Quilting Arts Magazine; it can be used for batik too. I use rubber cement for temporary hems (though I forgot one and left it in for a couple of years....no problems!); it only dry cleans out so it should be fine for quilts too.

of course I was at Walmart today and never even thought to pick up any glue....I guess it's just a good excuse to go back! And many thanks to everyone for all the great tips. This is like having my LQS in my living room!
