11-09-2019I would use Elmer's Washable School glue (white), but with a pinpoint tip screwed on:

The above are the glue tips that I have, and they are wonderful for squeeing out just a tiny drop of glue at a time. To keep the top flowing between uses, I placed a sponge in the bottom of a jar, added water to keep the sponge damp, and store the glue upside down in the jar. The glue does need to be set with an iron as you go (but it's quick).
The advantages of the above are that it's not at all messy, if you don't like the placement you can still lift the piece up and re-glue in a different spot, and it won't distort your pieces.

this is my preferred method too, even though i love using glue for other quilting projectsOriginally Posted by Tartan
I prefer to do long bias stem pieces by machine sewing along one side of the doubled stem piece. I then trim the seam allowance and fold the stem back over the stitched line. This leaves only the folded over side to blanket stitch down. ...
