Any suggestions for using Fabric Glue?
I went to the store to purchase fabric glue. I want to attach ribbon to the handle of a fabric covered Easter Basket Handle. The fabric on the basket handle is stretchy poly. The glue I used said, Ok to wash it...permanent and dries clear.
Issue: The ribbon didn't bond well in places and the glue made the ribbon hard. Any suggestions from you for tried and true fabric glues? Thanks for your ideas!

I like using glue sticks for making projects like you are making. They can hold things in place nicely. If you are not going to be washing the project I would recommend Elmer's School Glue. I get the clear washable.
Keep in mind just about any glue washable or permanent will harden some.

Thanks everyone for your responses. Wrapping the handle was a great idea, however I want to show off the cute print on the ribbon. I will remember that tip for the future. Good to know that there is a glue that stays softer ....Clover brand Embroidery Glue. Thanks onebyone.
