Elmer's Washable School Glue is not a glue but a heavy starch. It's safe for kids and fabrics. I use Roxanne's Basting Glue too and it's great and has the long very thin applicator. I refill an empty Roxanne's bottle with Elmer's to use when gluing a border or binding. I use Appli-Glue (washable) for matching seams and holding fabric in place as it doesn't need heat to hold instantly.
