I only use the washable glue for applique. It really holds my pieces in place and washes out.

I always use 505 and never use anything else. I have never had problems with 505 although it is a bit pricey!

Does anyone use Elmer's school glue, glue stick, or Ague Net to hold the stablizers to the fabric in their embroidery hoops? I've never used anything but Sulky KK 2000 and 505 Spray and Fix. I wouldn't mind a good cheaper substitute, but not something that hurts this horribly expensive machine.

I agree. Beware.

I use the elmer's glue in the bottle to do basting. 505 is better to spray baste a whole quilt.

Yes, temporary means you can reposition what you are placing if you do it QUICKLY. After that it becomes permanently fixed in place. I used this to glue a poem on a piece of wood. You have about 20-30 seconds before it is there for good!
