If you are doing a wallhanging it will probably be fine but would not use on a bed quilt because it will be too stiff. Just my opinion. :wink: :D :wink:

Be very careful; not all glues even though they say for fabric and will wash out go away. My teacher showed us a couple of blocks that were ruined due to this. I use elmers school glue stick w/applique

Ok, this seems to be the experience that is being related.
ALL brands of spray adhesive
1. turn yellow with time
apparently will show through the fabric
2. are stiffer than all brands of fusible web
3. will gum up the needles on the sewing/serger machines

Does everyone agree with this?

I've never heard of the problems you say you have with Wonder-Under, for me it works perfectly every single time...and I use it a lot in many different ways. But if you don't like that brand, I would suggest maybe you should try some of the other fusibles instead. There are more and more coming out these days; thinner, stronger, easier to use. Inhaling air-borne particles of a spray adhesive just doesn't sound like something I would want to deal with.

I have used steam a seam lite and I think the other one is heat and bond lite and it isn't stiff; the only glue that I'd use is elmers because I know it'll wash out all the way

If you don't put your picture by your name, but you do put a picture of something, such as a quilt, then that quilt picture is your avatar.

I use a tiny dab of Roxanne's Glue Baste-It...works fine for me on the smaller stuff, otherwise I'm into fusible!
