[QUOTE=auntpiggylpn;5811547]Just so you know... ALL of those treats that are made in China have been recalled. I believe it came down early last week. Also, not just off brands are made in China, there are some well known brands that are manufactured in China also! I was shocked! My other half works in managment in a fairly large box store chain and told me about the recall.[/

Elmers glue has always been my "go to" glue since I was a kid. I prefer US homegrown on alot of things, but somethings I wont forget.......like the "recalls" on different US made medicines, baby food etc. Bottom line, I am not eating Elmers and I aint giving it up.

Be sure to use the Elmer's Glue that washes out. My daughter just gave me a set of plastic bottles with the small caps that control the flow of glue. You are able to put small dots of glue. Wish I had kept the carton with the brand name. However, I am sure that you can find them on the internet somewhere. Hope that helps.

I did take an appliqué class where we used glue to hold our pieces down. Just a little dribble not enough to turn it into decoupage!

Seam matching...that's a great idea.

Another post pointed out Elmer's school glue is made in USA. I use it, and I'll buy this glue anytime over Roxanne's glue which costs close to $10.00 for two ounces the last time I looked.

My bottle of Elmer's School Glue says: Made in the USA. It's the bottle of Roxanne's Glue (at almost $10, that has the little tip on it. I just love it. It comes with two, and a little plastic piece to clean out that tube. But I found the glue just runs back into the bottle, and if I leave the bottle open too long and the tip dries up, a stick pin works very well to open it again.

The set of plastic bottles and, I think, seven different tips, is for sale here somewhere. My Roxanne's bottle will be refilled with Elmer's when it is empty.

OH'm'gosh! I never thought about using glue on my jeans patches. I replace the whole knee sections on work jeans, and have a heck of a time top stitching those patching in place. If I don't top-stitch, the fabric pulls out. Someone on here has a little saying about Picasso painting the garage, but when I am through with some of my patches, I feel like Picasso. A work of art!

I bought a set of metal tips and small squeeze bottles at Michaels. They were by the paint supplies-fabric paint, not craft paint. Package cost about $6.00 for two bottles,4 tips,4 metal things to clean out small metal tips and two large tips that fit the bottles. I like the tips a lot more than the Roxanne's as they are short and easier to unclog. The tips are different sizes,some so tiny that I wouldn't think the glue could get through.i won't be buying Roxanne's again.

Where other than catalogs/online can one get Roxanne Temp Glue.....like the fact that it is temporary as opposed to Elmer.....that has to be washed out......
