Thanks for the reminder about using glue. I am repairing some clothing for my SIL and several pieces are really stretchy, slippery knits. I botched one already, sewing it crooked. DUH! I completely forgot about the Elmer's.....

Yes indeed! I'm getting me some!

Would any water soluble glue work? We don't have Elmer's in my country as far as I know. I have used regular glue sticks successfully.

Glue sticks work the same way! I prefer them as there is less mess, and iron dry faster.

You will love it... |
Wow...another use for school supplies. I'll have to add this to my arsenal (sewing stuff).
Thanks for the tip...I am learning so much! Now if I just had the time to USE it. |
Thank you so much for sharing this video again. I just finished a project where I should have used this method. Hopefully I'll remember it for my next one. What a great problem solver.

That's already happened. :) Roxanne Glue-Baste-It does the same thing but costs more. The advantage is it comes with the thin metal tip like Sharon Schamber uses. I've found the regular container of Elmer's puts more glue on me than on the project but the thin metal tip is great. An alternative is an Elmer's Glue Pen. The only place I've been able to find it is Walmart's and the tip isn't as thin as the one on Roxanne's but is much neater than the regular Elmer's.

Would it work on applique? It sounds like it would be easier than using fusible web.

Glue sticks are nice; however, they dry out too fast and cost more. If a bottle starts drying out you can just add a tiny bit of water - glue sticks don't play nice that way.
