I have never tried glueing anything on quilts! Bet it works well with aplique! I have a walking foot that I use on my bindings and I don't even pin it down and have had great, neat bindings with it. I have a new aplique pattern that I was going to use Heat and Bond on but I might try that "Elmer's in bottle" trick! I have a couple of ink refill bottles that I saved cause as a crafter of everything thing I save EVERYTHING!!LOL
