Hi! I couldn't use the rubber cement for long, the fumes are just too strong but I love the glue sticks and buy in the packages of four or five at a time. I'm working on a paper piecing project and have found the glue is so helpful there too. When you're starting with that first piece and try to keep it positioned properly is almost impossible but with the glue it stays put. And if you don't want to wash the project, a spray bottle of water and a wash cloth will remove most of the glue till its nearly impossible to tell it was ever there.
I even used glue sticks instead of temporary spray adhesive when I'm doing machine embroidery. I never have worry about overspray getting on my hoop. The glue has never gummed up a needle like a spray adhesive can.
I've found the disappearing glue works as well as the white glue so I buy whatever I can find. Chris
