Elmer's Glue Question
 

Has anyone ever tried using Elmer's glue instead of fusible web for a machine applique project? I always hate the stiffness of fusibles and have not used glue much, but it seems like it should work on a project where it will be machine appliqued and quilted at the same time. Does anyone have experience or thoughts on the matter? Thanks for the help/advice.

Isn't it great finding new uses for old products? Yes, Elmer's School Glue is a great basting tool.

Another option would be Misty Fuse, it stays very soft and flexible, you never know it's there.

I use it all the time to hold down appliqué until I stitch around it. I also use it to hold needle turn appliqué. For me it works great is much cheaper than fusible web, washes out. I use both the bottle of Elmer's and the Elmer's glue stick.

i use liquid starch, Sta-Flo, straight out of the bottle... no thinning. it works great on my small Dear Jane pieces for applique. i just paint it on with a small artist brush and iron it with my clover iron
