    Default My first question!

    Hi everyone, I'm very new here, and very new to quilting. I'm going to make a color wheel with fabric, part of my attempt to learn to understand more about color. I have my solids ready to go, but I could use suggestions about how best to attach them to a board (I figure I'll use a foam core board). Is there a glue that will hold them on but not pucker? Thanks for your help!

    Sarah

    I'm thinking a spray on glue would work well for this.

    That sounds perfect! Is it something I can get at a fabric store?

    Yes, I'm pretty sure they have it, especially if it has a craft section. Be careful when spraying not to breathe it in, and don't spray near your machine

    You could probably use a glue stick. I use them regularly to glue fabric.

    if you use something other than foam core, you could use underwonder or some such iron on fusible.

    I kind of want it on something stiff so I can put it up on the wall.

    You're in NYC? I'd love to know more about the quilting "scene" here. Do you have stores you recommend beyond City Quilter?
