    [quote=sarahelloyd]Hi again, PVA glue is a gloopy white glue.

    Have you tried mixing this PVA glue, that you have, with some water to thin it down somewhat?

    amma, I've been using baste glue forever that I got at the quilt shop but running out one day I used Elmer' school glue and the tip off the baste glue and it works fine. Sure saves all the pinning.

    You are all welcome :D:D:D I am glad that it has been helpful :D:D:D

    Here is the package of tips that fit Elmer's bottles that I found in my local Walmart. They can also be found at JoAnn's, Michaels, and other craft shops. They are sold with the little bottles of acrylic craft paints.

    There are 2 of the plastic tips that screw onto the bottle and 3 different sized metal ones
