I have the Roxanne's and love that little applicator bottle. I've been using Elmer's straight from the bottle w/good success at keeping the dots small...if not I use a toothpick to pick up the excess to put somewere else. I still have some Rosanne's left. I use glue sticks and small pieces of Steam-a-Seam2, as well. I'm working on some applique blocks and haven't done a binding yet w/glue but I will.
