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

i have also done this. it's so much better than pinning

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. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

May have to try the stick, but has anyone tried just regular washable glue from bottle?

I've heard you can they sell a special finetip for the glue but I use the glue stick.
