You looking for liquid or glue stick? I use a stick, I don't have to let it dry - just wipe, place fabric, sew!
I've used a few different sticks, have not had a problem with any. Just make sure it say's "acid free". I've even used the ones that say "permanent" without a problem as I don't think the permanence applies to soap and water.
that said .. I have tested ALL of my sticks prior to use on scraps. I apply the stick heavily on both sides, let it dry, I'll even try a second test and iron it - then I wash them to make sure the glue washes out. So far ... not a single "permanent" glue stick stood up to soap and water (most of the time only water was needed).
