Sharon Schamber uses Elmer's....it works great in piecing, doing curves and circles etc.

It's one of those ideas that I see in my mind but can't explain it so best thing is just do it and see what it looks like and if it comes out the way I think it will I'll post it here under photos.

There are alot but not all of them are good for quilting. Roxanne's will get hard so you need to wet it soon after to dissolve it. I use Elmer's school glue stick for appliqueing and it works out great.

I have those "wonder if" moments, too, and just try an idea in my head - if it doesn't work, it goes in the trash and never thought of again - but if it works - - - - hooray!!
