I use your basic Elmers school glue. It washes out the first time with no problems. Doesn't stain your fabric.
Hope that answers your question
I do a lot of machine applique and use the Elmers which is great for the precuts from the machines or from Keepsake. I do not use the glue sticks. I want the edges to stick down without any fraying. There always seems to be some fraying with the glue sticks.
