    Elmer's glue with Paper piecing?

    Anyone used Elmer's glue for holding paper to fabric pieces for paper piecing? I heard fabric pulls away from glue when needed?

    I've been using a glue stick with great success for paper piecing when I need to hold fabric to the paper. Pulls away and doesn't leave a residue

    Make sure it's the washable white glue - NOT the regular Elmer's wood glue. A little goes a long way.

    I use the Elmer's School Glue (washable) glue stick. Lots easier than pinning and the paper & fabric don't get distorted.

    Elmers School Glue Stick is the best for paper piecing. Storing it in the refrigerator makes it last longer too.
