I assume you still wait for it to dry before sewing through it? Can you give us a brand of archival glue you use, & where it can be purchased? I've never heard of it. Do you use liquid glue or just the glue sticks?
I would like my appliques to stay soft on baby / toddler quilts & would prefer to try the glue edge method & forget the fusible adhesive all over the back. If any of you use the liquid glue dot method with detailed appliques, how do you like it?
