Appliqueing squares question
#1
Another question on appliqueing squares. After a 2" sq is folded under with mitered corners now a 1" sq, how are you keeping the corners together. I have been stitching each little mitered corner with a couple stitches. Only problem is I have 120 squares to do. Can't applique each one at a time. Have to wait till 11 are done to do an even row across. Is there another way to keep corners together. Is there a spray or something. Could use help before I get too far along. If tacked about 20 so far. Thank you in advance.

Thank you. I would press them but I used the blue water soluable pen to draw the square on top so I could fold it and directions say not to press the blue lines because they may become permenent.

There is a heat resistant template material. Why not make a template and press the ends of the squares around that instead of using the blue marking pen. Then use a drop of school glue at the corners and press glue dry.

I bought glue today and tried it. I bought Fabric-Tac it dries quick. The only problem is it leaves a hard place. Somewhat difficult to sew around. What is the name of the glue you use. Thanks
