Hi, I do glue them down lightly using a glue stick, the kind thy used in classrooms. I first center the doilie on the fabric then I fold it in half, lightly rub the glue stick on the edges as well as a few other spots, especially the areas I will be sewing. I place that part back then fold the other side...I don`t use a lot of glue. After I sew the edges and other areas I want, I turn it upside down and I iron the backside just to make sure the glue is dry.

At the Madison Quilt Expo earlier this month, a presenter told us about putting doilies on quilts. She showed us some sticky stuff to use for that. I went to her booth and bought some of it later. It is called Appli-Web Plus. Sheer Softness. But I don't understand what would happen to it if I used it for doilies or tatting. These have lots of "holes" and what happens in those holes with the web. The detailed directions inside say nothing about using it for doilies. Do you ever "Paste" yours down?
