Yes! I agree with you. Glue? Come on now. I got out of the second grade 30 years ago.

I'm sure Sharon Schamber has been out of second grade for many years too. However, she is a three time time Best of Show winner at Houston. When you can beat her record we'll drop the glue.

Every one is different and has different methods for doing things. No one method is right or wrong, just different.
I've used her method of using washable school glue for bindings and pipings. It works so great - no need to use pins and struggle with them so you don't get poked. This is the method I'll be using from now on.

Tonnie has only been on this board for three months.
I was giving her some slack until I saw her "Bring it On" comment on our list.
Tonnie, be nice. This is a wonderful group and we appreciate constructive comments. No need to do otherwise.
Our Moderators do a great job and delete inflamatory comments. They should never be put in a place to waste alot of their time monitoring situations like this.
Thank you all for being civil and being helpful.

It was doled out in gobs from a gallon jar on to little pieces of paper for us to use in whatever "art" projects we were working on.
I remember that!!!!! :lol:

My quilts are just everyday things (not professional), so I don't think I'll take the time to use that method, but it was interesting to see the methods being used.

Here is one of her links:

Once you are on her page, you can see the others.
I watched this and others, wish I had seen the basket handle one about a year ago when i struggled with my Mom's quilt. The glue looks like a lot work, but accurate!

I've not found the glue tips when I've looked at Joann's, Micheal's, or Hobby Lobby.
I did, however, find this at Office depot for $1.65!

The tip may not be as fine as the other applicators (I've not seen them)
but, it is much thinner than the standard Elmer's Glue bottle.

The dual tip is great!
I've used the "thicker" flat end to attach binding easily without pins.

I have use washable glue at times with my applique, but never on my seams. Another reason that I love this board, I learn something new almost everyday.

i am not sure where the tips are in michels, but in joanns..they are in the paint section.handing up. i believe they are put out by "plaid" company.
I had a difficult time finding them at Michael's too, but eventually found them in or near the food decorating department!
