I was in Dollar General and checking thru their school supplies for sewing/quilting supplies (as mentioned in another thread here). I saw the Elmer's Spray On Glue and almost bought some but I noticed that is said "repositionable for a while and then becomes permanent". I wondered about that part. The print on the back of the can was way too tiny for me to see w/o my magnifying glass so don't know if it would be good on fabric. I didn't get any but may go back later and get some. I do know that you can use a cut-a-way stabilizer in whatever weight works best for your fabric, adhere it to the applique with 505 and then stitch around it and cut. The cut-a-way is stable once it's stitched. This is the way I do applique with my embroidery machine.
