You can pick up those cheapy little eyeglass repair kits. They work great. I use a wooden skewer also and just shave one end flat and squared. I have a poultry shears to cut the ends of the skewer. Of course the poultry shears are labeled for the craft/sewing room. The flat end of the skewer helps to spread the glue along the edge of the applique.
