I've seen on the board a lot of people using elmers glue for various reasons. I've been using Roxanne baste it for my applique and I was planning on using it for binding. However, if Elmers is just as good I would rather use elmers as it is significantly cheaper...
What would you all recommend?
Thanks,

Elmers washable school glue works just fine. I've been using it for all my bindings.
Make sure you get the washable glue.

I've never used Roxanne's. I use Elmer's Washable and have been very satisfied with it.

I've used both. I didn't really notice any appreciable difference between Roxanne's and Elmer's. Roxanne's does have the nice fine tip. I used Roxanne's the first time I glued a binding. It is nice to be able to precisely place that bead of glue, however, on a large quilt it is not that efficient. I would keep the Roxanne's for applique (if you already have it) and use Elmer's for the binding and basting.

I took an applique class and we used a combination of Elmer's glue and Elmer's washable glue stick. The instructor had a glue bottle with an extra fine metal tip. She just put the Elmer's in there for more control. Worked great.

I have never used Roxanne's I use Elmers all the time. I bought a bottle with different tips at Joann's and it works just great!

Great information.....

since you already have Roxannes - finish using it and then refill it with Elmers

I have used Roxanne's glue but it is very expensive; the last time I looked, it was over $9.00 for a very small bottle. Elmer's school glue works just as fine. The suggestion by quiltstringz above is a great one!

Excellent. Save money on glue = buy more fabric.
