Ty for your response. This board is marvelous for new tips and tricks of the trade.

which part you missed and if you overspray then it becomes too wet plus you have
to dilute the glue a lot more to go through a spray without clogging.
Another reason I like to dilute the glue is to avoid those hard spots where the needle
can break. A little goes a long way with Elmer's.

thanks. I just Elmer Glued the binding on a twin size quilt (my first attempt at this). What an easy way to go. No pins, and my needle had no problems pushing through the binding fold. Elmer's glue is a keeper in my book.

Thank you for sharing... I use the Roxanne glue tip/bottle NOT THE GLUE. I use Elmer's in the Roxanne bottle.
Reason, the Roxanne glue is the same as Elmer's. I found this out from the company that makes the glue. They were going to build a plant in a city I work for, until they found that the city water had too much salt in it. I asked the company owner about the water/dairy based glues on the market and he told me about Roxanne's glue. (BTW R. glue is not owned by Roxanne anymore) I do love their tips.....very fine line. Back to school is a great time to purchase your Elmer's glue...lots of sales.
