The ones with the syringe tips were making me crazy - soaking in alcohol and water - these are easy to clean with a pipe cleaner or toothpick.

You can buy a bunch of replacement tips pretty cheap, too.

Yes, Jean, the glue is used instead of pins to hold the binding while you sew it. Makes it much easier. The glue will disolve when you wash the quilt. I love this method!
They say to use an iron to set the glue so it makes it easier to sew. :)

I glue all my applique pieces and iron them to dry the glue. It holds the pieces down fast and washes right out with a little soak and then a hand-scrubbing in warm water. If you're using it for binding, it seems to wash right out when you launder it - even when you heat set it.

Try not to put the glue right *on* your hand-sewing line, though because it's tough to pierce with a hand needle.

I don't see any difference between the Elmer's Washable School Glue and the more expensive glues sold to quilters, so I just refill the tiny bottles from the big bottle of Elmer's.
