Question about Elmer's School Glue
I saw Elmer's School Glue sticks at Big Lots the other day and wondered if you could use that instead of the liquid to glue bindings or whatever when quilting.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I have used glue sticks for placing my first diamond shape on the paper for piecing my Spiderweb top and it worked well. I just used one swipe and removing the paper after piecing the block went well. I am using the Elmer's washable CLEAR glue for positioning my binding on a potholder today and it is working great. I will try to add a picture of it prepared but not sewn down.

For matching seams, I use the glue stick. The liquid glue works great for basting. I use a very, very thin line of glue across the top edges of the batting and quilt top while loading them on top of the backing for longarm work. No need to machine baste, either.
