Surprise! Elmer's glue not just for quilting!!
I have been using Elmer's washable glue for quite a while on bindings, sandwiching, etc. This morning I was getting dressed and have a boat-necked top that slips down over my shoulders. I have been pinning it to my bra straps but that isn't easy. I thought of good old Elmer, and glued my top to my straps and am good to go!!!

Necessity is the mother of inventions. Good idea
|
My DH and I just made crackle finish on our new table top using Elmer's Glue. Now is the time to stock up - school supplies are on sale, everywhere.
|
I have a blouse that gaps at the top, the buttons are too far down, so I use the tube and a "little dot will do you."
|
Ha, ha. Reminds me of girls using staples to hold up their hem when it's come undone.
|
Great idea!!!!!!

I just tried Elmer's glue for the first time for basting. I feel the quilt is a bit too stiff. Do you think I did too much? I am going to hand quilt this & I hope it isn't too much. How do you know when enough is enough. I put it pretty much all over squeezing from the bottle. Then I took a brush & smoothed it out. I know it has to be washed out but could I take apart 7 re-glue or would I just be adding insult to injury. It is a hexie quilt and plan on quilting each hexie. I ironed or heat set as I went but the quilt seemed a little damp so I hung it outside to dry good. HELP!!!

Don't laugh about the staples on hems, I used packing tape on the hem of my uniform pants once to get through the day at work. If only I had possessed an Elmer's glue stick!
|
Haha! Great idea! I'm going to use it!!

Your question might get lost in this thread...try a new posting...I have wondered this too. But I am thinking you may have used too much. I use tiny dots about 4" apart, but sometimes they don't stick it together...so I think this is a good guestion.
