I needed more School Glue, so I went looking at Walmart last Thursday. I found the bottle for 34 cents, and Elmer's glue was about 74 cents. Then I looked more closely at the bottles. The 34 cent bottle was made in China; Elmer's glue is made in the USA. Which would you choose? ? ? ?

Picked up a bottle of Elmers School Glue last week. It sat on my desk staring at me so I finally got brave, took my quilt that still needed borders off the design wall and glued the first border on. NEVER, EVER, will I pin a border again. Oh my gosh, it was so nice to sew a border on and not get stuck with a pin in the process! Thanks to everyone for posting about the glue!! :thumbup:
wait to you try it sewing binding on. I got brave a month a go and glue basted a quilt. Other than an extra big spot of glue, the machine just had to work a little harder, it worked great! The next quilt I glue baste I will dilute the glue. That reminds me, I need another bottle.

I haven't tried this yet, but enjoy hearing about the experiences of others. Maybe I will try this on my next quilt.

I used Elmers School Glue recently on a small wall hanging and loved it. It held nicely while I did some basic quilting (I don't do fancy, yet) and it worked out quite well. I'll use it again because I don't like pinning and the fumes from the sprays are nasty.

Do you water the glue down? What kind of a bottle do you put this in to apply? Thanks for the help.

I have been using Elmer's glue so far, does anyone know if the glue you can get at the doller store is just as good?

At the risk of repeating myself, just make sure whatever glue you use is WASHABLE and you'll be fine. If in doubt, do a sample and make sure it washes out. Also, as the old ad used to say, "A little dab'll do you."

I would choose the SCHOOL glue which is washable. The other glue is NOT. Elmer can make that in the US if he wasn't too cheap to pay a living wage.
