I think the product you are looking for is Roxanne's Glue Baste it. I found it when taking an applique class at quilt camp, many years ago. Expensive, nozzle stopped up, made me crazy. Think it may have been improved since then.

I use elmers glue also for my applique. I put a small amount and iron, and it stays there until I get it sewed down. I sometimes do quite a few pieces before sewing and it makes it a lot easier.

I believe that is Roxanne's glue. The long thin nozzle is good for applying, but mine got plugged up. A friend said you could use watered down Elmer's glue with the same results. I did try it, but found the Roxanne's to be a little easier to apply. I use a glue stick the most. Either the one from Fons and Porter or the Sewline one. They are both refillable.

I have been using the Elmer's glue sticks or Rose Arts glue sticks instead of tacking or pinning----put it on and rub down flat and good and then iron--doesn't move anywhere when hand quilting--make sure you get glue on all edges too

I have been using this method for over a year now, it works great!!!

When I have to sew with bias edges I use glue to stabilize the edges. If I have to cut a block on the diagonal twice, I usually take a washable glue and spread it on the line I'm going to be cutting. After it dries I press and then cut the block. The glue keeps the bias edge from stretching. Really works wonderfully
