I have watched many videos and read lots of blogs where people rave about the glue sticks. Which is great for all of you. With me for some reason, I always ended up with more glue on me than on the fabric edges. LOL. Could be because I just rubbed it right on without the use of a toothpick or needle. Amazing how I never thought of that. So great tip.
