    I use it ALL the time specially for applique, needle turned or raw edge. I also use the Glue stick, the purple one and then lightly iron it till it disappears. Never a problem, never gums the needle. Never alters the feel or texture.

    I love using a glue stick. I think it is not as messy as the glue bottle, although I have used both and they work wonderful.

    Default Using Elmers School glue Instead of Pins

    Love, love, love using this technique. I always struggled in getting perfectly matched seams and well-constructed, well made bindings. But now? Very attainable every time!! Learned this technique from Sharon Schamber videos...if you haven't seen them...please do so. Connie in California

    I have used the school glue stick for years. I first started using it to place the top hoop where I wanted it for my machine embroidery. Was a lot cheaper than the one that they sold for that purpose. I have used it in place of pins except on curves. Pins are better there. It has my thumbs up ! Never had any proplem washing it out.

    Very interesting thread. I've heard about using glue but never done it.

    Wow lots of great info here. I've only used glue in my bindings but I'm going to start trying it in other areas. Thanks for all the great info.

    I insert a "long" pin in the tip of my metal glue bottle top/tip and it never clogs.
