I searched and found this site for several glue sheets: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=fabric+glue+sheet

I use very narrow strips of Stitch-Witchery to hold down the edges of labels while I hand sew them on. No pins! I'll have to give good old Elmer's a try, too. :-)

Well, it's not quilt related, but it's another use for Elmer's glue...

It used to take him an hour to get ready for school....

I use some of the stick glue to hold the hexiesl on my grandmother's flower garden templates until I can get all the corners sewed together. Otherwise sometimes the fabric slips to one side and I don't have enough seam allowance on the last sewn sides. I can remove the template quite easily. I cut my hexies on my Go! Cutter.
