I received a magazine in the mail from Mirco-Mark the small tool specialists. They have a website www.micromark.com and I was looking in their catalog and came across these. I think they may be small enough tips for gluing binding on. In the magazine they are $5.15 for 2 empty one ounce bottles...or $5.95 for 2 empty two ounce bottles. On the website they are a little bit more. I have looked at Joanns and Michaels, Fred Meyers (Krogers) and Walmart and couldn't find them.

Smart idea! I wonder if they have them at Harbor Freight. They have just about everything else.

I did a search on harbor freights and they only seem to have a 12 peice glue spreader kit #98600 for $7.99 and I am not sure that they have as small of a tip in all of those.

When you glue blinding do you go back and sewing it then???

Tip looks much like the air hose tip used to inflate son's basketball - hmmmmm????

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!

Hi Deanna, *great name* tis my daughter's as well :)

I would love to get those too! Thanks so much for sharing with us here!

Great find! I use empty printer ink refill bottles. They look the same as these. I noticed Roxanne's Basting Glue now comes in this type of bottle too and it's refillable.

I found mine at Micheals and Walmart. They were in with the fabric paints.

These are the ones I use - no rust and the metal tips screw onto the plastic tips and unscrew for cleaning.

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.

That is the same on that I got a Michaels. They are awesome tips~~~ :thumbup: :thumbup:

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.
