I think that Glue-All version also comes in glue sticks and I know it comes in the glue pens because I bought one awhile back - don't worry; I knew what it was. I wanted it for something else.

It's in the same bottle as the school glue and is also white. The only difference I saw was the label. I don't think Glue-All is washable. It was right next to the school glue and would be easy to pick up the wrong one if you didn't look at the label. We spend too much time and money on our quilts to ruin one with the wrong glue.

I bought a bottle of Glue-All once because it came in a bigger size than the School Glue. I wrote to the manufacturer and asked them if it was washable. They said that it is. I ended up returning it anyway because I just wasn't sure.

I may have to do an experiment to see if there is any difference in them.

elmer's glue-all has been around since hector was a pup. i was blindsided the first time i grabbed the "wrong" bottle because it was the "school glue", and since it was washable, it would not do the job i'd intended it to do. i ended up giving it to one of the kids for their desk at school, and having to make another trip. of course, that was many, many years ago, before i'd learned the joys of quilting! (and now these kids have all turned into adults with kid of their own...)

I wonder if the "perm" stuff would work better than Fabric-Tac? I am actually looking for a glue that will hold through washing. Facric-tac is so hard to work with.
