Regarding using a glue stick/ Debbieumphress
#1
I just wanted to thank the person who posted about using a glue stick to get your seams to match up perfectly. I tried doing this this week and it worked perfectly!!! I was so pleased with the results. It didn't make it any harder for my machine to stitch my pieces and for once my seams are actually lining up like I want them to. I gotta say- this has been a real struggle for me. I've been using it to make a simple Big Stylish Block Quilt and I'll post pics as soon as I am finished piecing the top. I've been wanting for so long to make a quilt with the Star type blocks but have been discouraged because I couldn't even get my straight seams to line up, let alone points, but now that I learned about this I'm gonna try one of the stars asap. So- to wind it up- Thank you Debbieumphress! You've changed my quilting life for the better.

i use them too, fons and porter has a small pointed one out, my friend got it from joanns, with a coupon of course.
she got it home, and had to take it back, it was dried out! but she does love it!
i use the school ones..kinda messy, but i really like it for string quilts,eliminates the need to press every seam down..
Glad people share thier ideas here! they have helped me many times with thier wisdom,tips and tricks!

I used the generic school type. OK- I admit it! I stole my daughter's out of her pencil box.. LOL, I'm not all bad though, cuz I went to Walmart and bought 2 three packs of them and gave her a new stick to make up for it. The other 5 are in my sewing notions drawer.
