Elmer's is wet. a glue stick is pastie....no ironing. I have ironed over it with no problem. The Avery glue stick says permanent, but it will wash out. Doghousemom, here on the board put me on to it. It can be moved around. I have a spiked hair do also, the clear glue (Elmer's) is a new thought for me also. Good to know I will not drip in the rain.......Of course here in Texas we are in drought, so I don't see rain as a problem. Thank you, I love this board. M

Love, love, love using glue. I never do my binding without it. Just make sure you get the washable kind, doesn't have to be any certain brand.

Try it, you may like it. Where else can you buy a 2 month supply of hair gel for $1.77. Of course, if your hair is long, I don't think I would try it... :thumbup: :oops:

I have used Elmers School glue for several years. Never have had any problems with it. It flattens out, no bumps or lumps. It is easy to sew through, doesn't gum up on the needle either.

Give it a try on some scraps, you will see it is quite an asset to have :D:D:D

I use Glue-Baste-It a lot. Washes out when I am all finished

I use Elmer's Washable School Glue all the time on my paper piecing, never had any problem.
