It means the glue washes out! :-D

Hmmm.
If someone said those words to me, I would interpret the seeded to mean WITH and the pitted to be WITHOUT.

Which makes no sense. But I doubt that I'm correct.

So much for higher education. :mrgreen:[/quote]

IMHO you are correct or at least that's how I would interpret.

"Seedless" grapes are born with NO seeds, while seeded grapes are born WITH seeds. "Pitted" prunes have the pits removed. Inconsistency is such a lovely part of the English language, isn't it!

Kudos once again to our informative board members; through a link above I just found and ordered Aleene's Quilters' Kit of glue bottle and needle tip, with cover and clean-out wire. Available with or without fabric glue (I ordered one of each). Will likely refill with school glue. I love this board and its many helpful suggestions!

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 think waist length hair might be a mess with glue. lol

My hair is down to my knees...the thought of putting glue in it give me chills!!! LOL

I don't like the pieces and chips I get from glue sticks. I use Elmer's Blue Gel Glue. Found out about it in Quilting Arts Magazine; it can be used for batik too. I use rubber cement for temporary hems (though I forgot one and left it in for a couple of years....no problems!); it only dry cleans out so it should be fine for quilts too.

:lol: :lol: :lol: This has turned out to be a funny topic... I like things labeled clearly, such as 'seeds removed'... LOL :lol: , that would help us all wouldn't it.

:oops: What can I say? :lol:

of course I was at Walmart today and never even thought to pick up any glue....I guess it's just a good excuse to go back! And many thanks to everyone for all the great tips. This is like having my LQS in my living room!

My daughter bought a can of "pitted" cherries and they had pits! I always think pitted olives have NO pits....yes, confusing.
