I started sewing clothes years ago 50 plus. When my husband was stationed in Okinawa I went to a school that taught how to pattern draft clothes without use of standard paper patterns, We drew right on the fabric and cut from it. That was when I first used glue for construction. When I began quilting in 74 I continued using it. I have never had problems. Now I use a small metal tip on elmer;s. It gives me control of the flow. When creating I try to use what will give me the best results. I hope we each do. Keep an open mind and a teachable heart and we can improve our art form.
