Don't think that would work very well. You glue all your seams first, then (working in reverse) open up each fold and sew on the fold line. That would be more difficult with a spray, not to mention being more expensive. If you want to test the pieclique concept, you could probably use school glue applied with the tip of a toothpick: much slower than the fine tip glue bottle, but you probably have toothpicks and school glue in the house. Look at http://sharonschambernetwork.com/fre...ewasugo/1.html
to see how Sharon does it.

I just want to add that it is stessed by Sharon Schamber to use:
Elmer's WASHABLE School Glue.

Elmer's has a lot of products, incuding School Glue
that is NOT their "washable" type.

WOW!! After all this time, I hadn't even thought about using glue :oops:
I have 2 baby quilts (soon to be 3) that need binding. Guess I'll start looking for the tips so I'll have them when the time comes!!

All sorts of possibilities. We can create our own!!! But school glue is sort of messy, right? I don't think I would be inclined to try that one!

Let us know how it works, those of you who have tried it.

Although I haven't tried it yet, doesn't the Elmers wash out when laundering the quilt? Will the glue sticks wash out?

It's used to hold it together while you stitch it, then you wash it out.

I don't know if I'd like using glue sticks. The one's I've used in the past on other projects were kind of gummy...maybe too much so. It's been awhile since I've tried one, maybe they're better now. I think I read that there are some that wash out.

This glue tip is very small and you use Elmer white glue. It' works great, but be sure to wash it out after you finishes the quilt. I have seen fabric turn yellow where glue has been after several years.

A tip I got on using glue sticks is to keep them in the freezer. When the one you are using starts getting gummy, switch to a frozen one. I found that I had better luck when I let it sit for just a minute that it worked better than right out of the freezer.

the most important thing about using Elmores glue in quilting is to remember that it must be Elmores washable school glue or washable glue sticks. They are nothing more than starch and rinse out easily and easy clean up. There are other washable glue sticks on the market that I have tried and are a little cheaper but don't go on quite as easy.
