I use Elmer's on things like applique and binding. I've seen a video of Sharon Schamber using it with piecing too. She used it to glue the places where pieced sections go together so that they stay perfectly aligned when sewing, said she doesn't use pins. I haven't gone that far but if I ever do something that might need it I'll give it a try.
Using it for binding is fabulous!! No pins, no wrinkling, none of that twisting look. Hand sewing binding on the back without hassling with pins is even better. |
Roxanne's glue baste it is amazing!
|
the glue with the long nozzle is Roxanne's glue. Can be used like elmer's school glue but it seems to hold better and set up quicker and yet easy to wash out of fabric after sewn.

Good ole Elmers School Glue. Good tack and washes out.

I use Elmer's glue and you can buy the nozzle bottles quite easily. I think the one you buy in the nozzle bottle is called Aleen's but can't recommend it as I've never used it.

For something temp I use school glue sticks.

Thanks for the information on using glue. I have been looking for the thin nozzles. I'll try Michael's as I am not having any luck finding them on the internet. Nancy's Notions no longer has them listed. I found the picture on the Folkart web site but couldn't figure out how to order them. I am so glad the question about glue was asked. Now, maybe, I'll finally get those nozzels.

I just use the school glue. Look for the nozzle at Michaels or Joanne's.

Hey Kerry! Some of us use glue for holding the binding in place until it can be sewn. Some use glue instead of pins or other means of basting. I use glue sticks for my applique work instead of heat bond/wonder under. It doesn't leave the quilt stiff and you can move it around for a while until you get your pieces just right. I use your basic Elmers school glue. It washes out the first time with no problems. Doesn't stain your fabric.
Hope that answers your question |
