Has anyone tried the duct tape nozzle? When working with carpenter's glue in the workshop, I will use a created duct tape nozzle. The size of the bead is completely in my control. The glue keeps the tape from sticking to itself. Sometimes, a small straw will give the tool a bit more structural strength if the project is large.
If you can't afford the specialty tips, it is worth a try and there is no cleaning at the end! Just remove the tip and toss in the trash. |

Elmers Craft Bond repositionable glue sticks are WONDERFUL. Make sure that the glue stick has the word 'repositionable' on it. I bought mine at WalMart that was sold in a set of 4 sticks. They are 3" long.

So which works better, the liquid glue or the glue stick?

If you're talking about the binder clips you get at office supply stores, just be careful not to leave them on your binding for too long, I used one that rusted. :(

No pulling or stretching with the liquid, so it gets my vote over the glue stick for binding. Glue stick works fine for paper piecing. I really like the school glue for binding - SOOOOOOO fast - especially if you're a macine sewer, because you don't have to be super careful. You have to be a little more careful where you put the glue if you're going to hand finish the binding.
I'm not an appliquer - but I cn see how it would be a help - again, for machine applique where you wouldn't have to be as careful about where you put the glue. It would work for hand appliquers, but youI don't think you would want the glue very close to the edges. |
I have used both liquid an stick like it much better than pins. joyce j

If the glue is on the fabric when you sew it, will the glue not gum up the sewing machine ?
