glue sticks
 

can the glue sticks that are purple and turn clear ok for glueing fabric or should I used the clear ones to start with?
Thank you.

It has been so long since I bought the purple ones. Rub some on a piece of fabric. I think they dry clear.

Will be looking to see if they work.

The ones I have dry clear!!

The ones that I used did, but then I didn't really care because the glue washes out

Purple is fine, just make sure they say "washable".

Purple has worked for me and they do wash out.

I use the purple ones all the time, have never had any problems. I use them to baste my pieces for English paper piecing. The glue washes away and works fine. Sometimes I prefer the purple glue just because it's easier to see where I have it.

I use the purple Elmer's School glue a lot on fabric. It dries clear and washes out.

I use them all the time.
For art quilts its never a problem and if and when the quilt is washed its gone anyway!
